WHO NEEDS A HEART THAT IS BROKEN IN TWO?

WHO NEEDS A DREAM THAT'S BEEN SHATTERED?

WHO CRIES FOR MORE WHEN THE JOY TURNS TO PAIN?

YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER MATTERED.

 

(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)

THAT IS BRINGING ME DOWN?

(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)

THAT WENT WRONG FROM THE START?

YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART,

WE'RE JUST OCEANS APART

BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.

 

WHY DOES IT HURT WHEN YOU KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME?

WHY WERE THE WORDS SOFTLY SPOKEN?

WHY WASTE THE TIME WHEN WE'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE?

THE TIES THAT BIND ARE ALMOST BROKEN.

 

(Tell me, who needs a love like yours?)

THAT IS BRINGING ME DOWN?

(And tell me, who sees a love like ours?)

THAT WENT WRONG FROM THE START?

YOU HAVE BROKEN MY HEART,

WE'RE STILL OCEANS APART

BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.

 

WE'RE JUST OCEANS APART

BUT STILL IT DOESN'T MATTER.

 

WHO CRIES FOR MORE WHEN THE JOY TURNS TO PAIN?

YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER MATTERED,

YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER MATTERED.

 

WHO NEEDS A HEART THAT'S BEEN SHATTERED?

WHO NEEDS A DREAM THAT'S BEEN BROKEN?

AND WHO NEEDS THE WORDS SOFTLY SPOKEN?
