I don't know why we act like that   You hurt me, I only hurt you back   I can't believe how carelessly we say those things   That put our love in danger      You wouldn't say that to a stranger we hurt the ones we love   When we say those words in anger, do we ever make it up   We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later   But you wouldn't say that to a stranger      Last night there was over in the air   Today it's gone just like it was never there   And I don't know where those hateful words come from   It goes against our nature      You wouldn't say that to a stranger we hurt the ones we love   When we say those words in anger, do we ever make it up   We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later   But you wouldn't say that to a stranger      Let's pretend that we just met   And we said nothing we regret      We say what we don't mean and then we say we're sorry later   But you wouldn't say that to a stranger
