For so long we share each other's lives
  Gave up everything to keep love satisfied
  Baby, the air that I breathe you will take when you leave
  All because of something small
  Like the day I missed your call
  I tried to get in touch with you
  When I finally did, you said we're through.
  
  Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
  Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
  When it takes so long to make it
  And no time at all to break it off.
  
  Then you walked away I just stood there numb
  I had nothing to say
  Into the night you walked away with my life
  And feeling almost half my size
  I looked up and the heaven's eyes
  Smile was gone we used to see
  She knew that you were standing there with me.
  
  Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
  Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
  When it takes so long to make it
  And no time at all to break it off.
  
  One day up, then the next day down
  Love will keep you going like a merry go round
  (To keep you hurting, hurting)
  You both tried night and day from the start
  To keep your love from falling apart
  (To keep you hurting, hurting)
  Then all at once you left one out
  And love walks out the door
  You're searching baby, for something else
  You'll never find that thing you have before
  
  Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
  Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
  When it takes so long to make it
  And no time at all
  
  Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
  Build up trust, then tear it down oh tell me why
  Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
  Build up trust, then tear it down oh tell me why
