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 this 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 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
