If I knew we'd get older, I'd have told you
If I had seen today could never last
If I knew better, we'd have danced forever
But now we're only dancing in the past

And I know you were played, so we'll run it back
It was always the place we were coming from

If we believe that we're done
Then all this running's for nothing
Now I can see that we're caught up
Under this Cold War, fighting for nothing
And it's okay we were young
The way we looked at the others
Now I can see that it all comes down to the flaw
We never should have been lovers

Now I'm done crying over you
If you could only remember
How it all broke over the day I said to you
That if I could tell you how it felt to lose
Then the thought to break this down would never do

And I know you were played, so we'll run it back
It was always the place we were coming from

If we believe that we're done
Then all this running's for nothing
Now I can see that we're caught up
Under this Cold War, fighting for nothing
But it's okay, we were young
The way we looked at the others
Now I can see that it all comes down to the flaw
We never should have been lovers

And I can't speak
It's on the tip of my tongue, but I'm holding it back
Oh, and I can't sleep
There's something pulling me down, and I'm holding it back

And I know you were played, so we'll run it back
It was always the place we were coming from

If we believe that we're done
Then all this running's for nothing
Now I can see that we're caught up
Under this Cold War, fighting for nothing
But it's okay, we were young
The way we looked at the others
Now I can see that it all comes down to the flaw
We never should have been lovers

I can see that it all comes down to the flaw
We never should have been lovers
