Here we go again
Hurting each other for no reason
Wondering why we keep repeating the same mistakes

Seems the more we give
The more we're disillusioned
Baby, what is it we're doin'?
Are we so scared of give and take?
Ohh

Why do we always hurt the ones we love?
(Why?)
Just when it seems we've fin'lly made a breakthrough
Why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?
Why do we always hurt the ones we love?

Sometimes it seems
Like the silence is between us
Got deeper than the meanest words
Feel colder than the night

Everytime I feel as though
I'd finally gonna leave
It seems as though I just can't praise a girl
Without you in my life
Wohh

Why do we always hurt the ones we love?
(Why?)
Just when it seems we've fin'lly made a breakthrough
Why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?
Why do we always hurt the ones we love?

And when you cry
I feel as though the tears are falling
From my eyes
Why do we do this to each other?

There so much we should be proud of
So many dreams that we have shared
I'd hate to think that we're arriving
Without you standing here

Tell me why do we hurt the ones we love?
(Why?)
When we've fin'lly made a breakthrough
Why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?
Why do we always hurt the ones we love?

Ohh
Why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?
Why do we always hurt the ones we love?
Why?
