I know how hard he'll take it
When he finds out I can't stay
So I don't want to have to tell him
If there's any other way

Is there any new way out?
Where hearts are never broken
(Is there any new way out?)
Where no one's ever hurt in anger
(Is there any new way out?)
And harsh words are never spoken
(Is there any new way out?)

Now it only stands to reason
With all the plans that mix
That someone might have stumbled
On a better way than this

Is there any new way out?
Where tears are never needed
(Is there any new way out?)
Where no one ever need surrender
(Is there any new way out?)
And neither side's mistreated
(Is there any new way out?)

Is there any new way out?
Where hearts are never broken
(Is there any new way out?)
Where no one's ever hurt in anger
(Is there any new way out?)
And harsh words are never spoken
(Is there any new way out?)

Is there any new way out?
Where tears are never needed
(Is there any new way out?)
Where no one ever need surrender
(Is there any new way out?)
And neither side's mistreated
(Is there any new way out?)
