she stayed up all night
and cried into her pillow
and fought off the urge to
just break down and call
last night to find the fault
seemed so darn easy
but now who's to blame
don't matter much at all
she thinks if she calls him
it just shows weakness
so the hurt goes on
with every tear she's cried
ain't it sad to see
a good love fall to pieces
chalk another heartbreak up
to foolish pride
turn out the lights
the competition's over
the stubborn souls
are the losers here tonight
and while the bridges burn
another hard hard lesson's learned
as in the ashes passion slowly dies
and this romance goes down
to foolish pride
yeah e ah
he relives every word
they spoke in anger
he walks the floor and
punches out the wall
to apologize to her
would be so simple
but instead he cries
i'll be damned if i crawl
if he loses her
he's lost his best friend
and more than just a lover can provide
so he wrestles with emotions
that defeat him
chalk another love lost up
to foolish pride
turn out the lights
the competition's over
the stubborn souls
are the losers here tonight
yeah and while the bridges burn
another hard hard lesson's learned
as in the ashes passion slowly dies
and this romance goes down
to foolish pride
chalk another love lost up
to foolish pride
yeah ee ahhhh
mmmm hmmm mmmm
