I Bring Out the Worst in You
You bring out the worst in me
So what are we doing here
Arguing with destiny
This kind of love will never work
It can only bring us pain
Why then do I feel so hurt
When I think of never seeing you again

I bring out your darkest moods
You bring out my jealousy
Oh whatever happened to
That happy couple we used to be
What's happened to our common sense
It surly must have taken flight
'Cause both of us are so hell-bent
On staying here tonight

Why can't I let go of you
Why can't you let go of me
Can't you see her waiting in the wings
Impatiently
There must be a power that is holding us
We don't have the strength to break
Or maybe we're not tough enough
To admit to such a big mistake

So I Bring Out the Worst in You
You bring out the worst in me
Is this what you want to do
Keep on arguing with destiny
This kind of love will never work
It can only bring us pain
Why then do I feel so hurt
When I think of never seeing you again
Why then do I feel so hurt
When I think of never seeing you again

I Bring Out the Worst in You
You bring out the worst in me
