BMI  We keep walking away for no reason at all  And no one says a word  We were always so busy protecting ourselves  We never would have heard  And the rate of attrition for lovers like us  Is steadily on the rise  Nobody's in love this year  Not even you and I  Due to lack of commitment on both of our parts  We're going our separate ways  This show of indifference is breaking our hearts  It's making us crazy, yeah  You sit back and wait for your love to accrue  You'll be waiting a long, long time  Nobody's in love this year  Not even you and I  I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable  I don't want to get hurt  I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable  I don't want to be the one who gets left behind  We keep walking away for no reason at all  For the sake of being free  No one's invested enough of themselves  To yield to maturity  And the rate of attrition for lovers like us  Is steadily on the rise  Nobody's in love this year  Nobody wants to try  Nobody's in love this year  Not even you and I  I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable  I don't want to get hurt  I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable  I don't want to be the one who gets left behind
