Listen!
When you can’t see eye to eye
You tell the truth because you’re tired of lying
Hurt feelings I never told, y’all
Both your shoulders are turning cold  
Lips are tight with sleepless nights
Leftover dinners don’t taste right
  
When you can’t finish what you start
You try to argue with a broken heart
Tired of living your life in the dark
When you can’t get together, get apart
  
Let me tell you this
Heard a song the other day
Leave your lover in fifty ways
In a house that’s so intense
Wasting time don’t make sense
Suitcases packed sitting by the door
‘Cause you can’t take no more.
  
You can’t finish what you start
You try to argue with a broken heart
You’re tired of living life in the dark
When you can’t get together, get apart

We’ve been together so many years
I cried so that I’m out of tears
When love run out on you
There’s only one thing you can do
  
Get together or get apart
Get together or get apart
Get together or get apart
Get together or get apart
