Here we go again, hurting each other for no reason
Wondering why we keep repeating the same mistakes
Seems the more we give, the more we’re disillusioned
Baby, what is it we’re doing, are we so scared of give and take, oh

Why do we always hurt the ones we love, why
Just when it seems we finally made the breakthrough
Why can’t we fly between the eagle and the dove
Why do we always hurt the ones we love

Sometimes it seems like the silences between us
Cut deeper than the meanest words, feel colder than the night
Every time I feel as though I’m finally gonna leave
It seems as though I just can’t breathe, girl, without you in my life, oh

Why do we always hurt the ones we love, why
Just when it seems we finally made the breakthrough
Why can’t we fly between the eagle and the dove
Why do we always hurt the ones we love

When you cry I feel as though the tears are falling
From my eyes, why do we do this to each other
There’s so much we should be proud of
So many dreams that we have shared
I’d hate to think that we’re right there without you standing here

Tell me why do we always hurt the ones we love, why
When we finally made the breakthrough
Why can’t we fly between the eagle and the dove
Why do we always hurt the ones we love, oh
Why can’t we fly between the eagle and the dove
Why do we always hurt the ones we love, why
