lyrics

Neither your fault nor mine
We reached the end of the line
The inevitable decline

But now I see you complicate
Point fingers, try to implicate
Me in sealing your fate

‘Cause the truth is always harder on the heart
The truth is we were doomed from the start

We were doomed from the start
We were born to be apart
We were doomed from the start

So it’s no use to pretend
That this didn’t have to end
And please don’t try to be my friend

Because there’s two lives here at stake
Don’t repeat the same mistake
Pull the emergency brake

‘Cause the truth is always harder on the heart
The truth is we were doomed from the start

We were doomed from the start
We were born to be apart
We were doomed from the start

‘Cause the truth is always harder on the heart
The truth is we were doomed from the start

We were doomed from the start
We were born to be apart
We were doomed from the start
