But I guess my best wasn't good enough 

`Cause here we are back where we were before

Seems nothing ever changes

We're back to being strangers 

Wondering if we ought to stay or head on out the door

Just once, can we figure out 

What we keep doing wrong

Why we never last for very long

What are we doing wrong?

Just once, can't we find a way to finally make it right

To make the magic last for more than just one night

If we could just get to it

I know we could break through it

I gave my all 

But I think my all may have been too much 

`Cause Lord knows, we're not getting anywhere

Seems we're always blowing 

Whatever we've got going' 

And it seems at times with all we've got 

We haven't got a prayer

Just once, can we figure out 

What we keep doing wrong

Why the good times never last for long

Where are we going wrong? 

Just once, can't we find a way to finally make it right

To make the magic last for more than just one night 

I know we could break through it

If we could just get to it, just once 

I want to understand 

Why it always comes back to goodbye

Why can't we get ourselves in hand 

And admit to one another 

We're no good without each other? 

Take the best and make it better

Find a way to stay together
