We tried to write, but the words wouldn't come
We showed emotion until we went numb
Would've made more love if only we had some
Would've had the answers if we weren't so dumb

We couldn't read, there wasn't room inside
We said goodbye to one another and passed on by
We thought we were clever, we thought we were smart
We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart

We saw the promises slip through our hands
Just trying to make each other understand
Does it ever work out the way you plan?
How do you get back to where you begin?

We couldn't read, there wasn't room inside
We said goodbye to one another and passed on by
We thought we were clever, we thought we were smart
We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart

Maybe with time apart, we'll soften the way we feel
But if we don't lose the hearts, oh, we'll never heal

I can't explain the things that I do
One thing for certain, I know is true
I can't see me loving someone new
It may take a lot of time to get over you

We couldn't read, there wasn't room inside
We said goodbye to one another and passed on by
We thought we were clever, we thought we were smart
We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart
We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart
We thought our way out of love with a hard, hard, heart
