From the outside. We’re a perfect pair.. There’s no question there.. From the outside. We’re a perfect fit.. Everyone knows it.. But take a look inside. It’s not working at all.. We’re fighting we’re fading. But refusing to fall.. CHORUS. We stand like bookends.. We stand like bookends.. We stand…. With our backs to each other. Trying to hold our lives together.. We keep trying.. It once felt good.. Like we know it should.. We keep trying. Though it hurts so bad.. To get back what we had.. If we stand up straighter. We won’t fall apart.. I thought love was easy. Should it be this hard?. CHORUS. BRIDGE. But we never talk about it.. Why can’t we talk about it?. Does it have to be this way?
