Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I've hurt you once again, and girl, you've hurt me too
But that don't really matter when I'm here with you
There's no reason we should hold on to these sharpened spears
If we'd stop for a minute, we would toss them down
And my hands which seemed so ready to just hurt you more
Would reach out for your head, not for the door

Could there ever be a day when this hell will end?
When my best friend in the world will never hate me again?
If we're gonna stay together just one more day
We've gotta keep reminding us
Keep reminding us

I love you
I need you
But if we can't stop fighting then we'll never make it through
Now don't be sad
I love you, even when we're mad
Now don't be sad
I love you, even when we're mad

I still remember when we sat there on that silent beach
With so many stars above
We could've held each other and enjoyed the peace
But I guess that somehow wasn't enough
I want to be the one that you can always trust
And so much more when days are dark
But it's so hard for us to give that final piece of us
And not look for a lightning bolt from our spark

Some days it seems so hopeless, like you're already gone
And it's time for me to hurt once again
But thank God this fight will end like every other one, when
I kept on telling you
You kept on telling me

I love you
I need you
But if we can't stop fighting then we'll never make it through
Now don't be sad
I love you even when we're mad

But now we've gone and started yet another brawl
Does our pride really mean all that much?
It always seems so hard to give you all that trust
If we're gonna be forever, then it seems we must...

This pain inside my chest is more than I can take
When I thought that I could always take more
We fight and fight again, we do it all the time
And it's been a while since I knew what for

I don't know how our love can take a beating every day
When I know my poor heart's had enough
And it's time to go our separate ways even though
I'll keep on telling you
I'll keep on showing you

I love you
I need you
But we just can't stop fighting, so we'll never make it through
Now don't be sad
I love you even when we're mad

I love you
I need you
But we just can't stop fighting, so we'll never make it through
Now don't be sad
I love you even when we're mad
Now don't be sad
I love you even when we're mad

Baby, we can talk all night
But that won't change the way I feel...
