Each time we try

To make up and reconcile

I pray

It ' s the last time we try

Each time we decide

It would be better

To hide away

I pray

It ' s our last goodbye

Why do the love birds still fly

They ' ll never die as long as you ' re around

Each day I pray

To be freed from thought

But no God can cut you loose from me

And the days linger on

I sing song after song

I ' m in my room

Waiting for heart surgery

Why do the love birds still fly

They ' ll never die as long as you ' re around

Why do our cars still collide

While there is no other car in sight

Each time we try

To break up and say goodbye

I am cast by an unbreakable spell

I saw the devil in your eyes

And I wisely stepped aside

Now I got lost on your highway to hell
