we built this here brick by brick
this hurt i can't get over
i thought that we were passed this
tell me what is going on, baby you're barely holding on

you say your heart is on the edge so tell me,
how can it be safe?
baby don't lose faith in us, cause i won't let go

and it hurts, and it hurts so bad
cause we're losing ground we keep falling down
as you're looking back, livin' in the past
and it hurts, and it hurts so bad
can't you see me cry as i'm askin' why
you keep lookin' back, livin' in the past, and it hurts

and it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts so bad
and it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts so bad

said why don't we keep fightin'
i wanna end this right here and now
we're so much better than this
lets not do it anymore, together we can win this war

you say your heart is on the edge so tell me,
how can it be safe?
baby don't lose faith in us, cause i won't let go

and it hurts, and it hurts so bad
cause we're losing ground we keep falling down
as you're looking back, livin' in the past
and it hurts, and it hurts so bad
can't you see me cry as i'm askin' why
you keep lookin' back, livin' in the past
