.
The rules you set when we're apart,
They're broken from the start,
But your regimented heart
Can't understand this.
.
You blame me,
You read between the lines.
You misread all the signs,
Investigate the crimes,
I detect the problem's you.
.

I'm a broken window,
I'm an open door,
I give a little less,
You take a little more.
We can't have it all...
.
On a burning page,
As your heart puts up the barricades,
As it all begins to fade,
I'll still love you.
.
On a wounded stage,
In the performance of a serenade,
Even in this mess we've made,
I'll still love you...
.
But there's no use,
Whichever way I'll lose,
If you set the rules!
.
We fight,
Your punches hit me hard,
But it's your words that leave the scars,
And as the sky bleeds stars,
You tell me that we're through.
But I can't lose you.
.
I'm a broken window,
I'm an open door,
I give a little less,
You take a little more,
We had it all...
.
On a burning page,
As your heart puts up the barricades,
As it all begins to fade,
I'll still love you.
.
On a wounded stage,
In the performance of a serenade,
Even in this mess we've made,
I'll still love you...
.
But there's no use,
Whichever way I'll lose,
If you set the rules!
.
Oh, we're holding on,
We're holding on
You got me wrong,
Oh so wrong.
We're holding on,
We're holding on
You got me wrong,
Oh so wrong.
.
On a burning page,
As your heart puts up the barricades,
As it all begins to fade,
I'll still love you.
.
On a wounded stage,
In the performance of a serenade,
Even in this mess we've made,
I'll still love you...
.
But there's no use,
Whichever way I'll lose,
If you set the rules!
