(T. B. Schmit/W. Jennings/B. Gaitsch)
Seems these days there is no one talking
Breaking up and they’re breaking down
You and I fight almost all night
Leaves us crying in the morning light
Never knowing where we’re going
Is it so hard to live together
Living lonely this sadness on me
I just don’t want to hurt forever
Give me a break or let me go
Somewhere it’s shining
Out in the night I can hear the song
I’ve made all I can make of broken dreams
Bad scenes and crying
I give and you take — down so low
Love me or let me go
City streets and the people homeless
Can’t come up with another chance
You and I — we had so much going
Music plays but we just can’t dance
You go your way — I’ll go mine
Let’s find out what makes life worth living
Nights of laughter — mornings after
Someone wants what I’ve been giving
Give me a break or let me go
Somewhere it’s shining
Out in the night I can hear the song
I’ve made all I can make of broken dreams
Bad scenes and crying
I give and you take — down so low
Love me or let me go
