Two broken hearts lonely looking like
Houses where nobody lives.
Two people each having so much pride
Inside
Neither side forgives.

The angry words spoken in haste,
Such a waste of two lives,
It's my belief,
Pride is the chief cause and the decline
In the number of husbands and wives.

A woman and a man, a man and a woman;
Some can and some can't
And some can't.
