Living inside a bottle
Strung out on a line
Caught in life's rough and tumble
Blind leading the blind
I wish there was an answer
But she's got such an easy way
And you know you can't leave her
And you know you can stay

* Oh it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery

We're hiding from the small talk
And hiding all the pain
With our backs against the wall
Is all this love in vain

* Repeat

When I'm with you you know I try so hard
Not to love you but I keep up my guard
Every single day that goes by
Are we fooling ourselves living a lie

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Please tell me now it's no secret
Is this surrender with defeat

Do you let love pass you by
Walk to a different beat

* Repeat
