Anymore it doesn't matter who's right or wrong
We've been injuring each other for much too long
And it's too late to try to save what might have been
It's over, nobody wins


Make believin' in forever is just a lie
And it seems a little sadder each time we try
'Cause it's a shame to make the same mistakes again and again
It's over, nobody wins


We've gone too far, too long, too far apart
The lovin' was easy, it's the livin' that's hard
There's no need to stay to see the way it ends
Ummmm, it's over, nobody wins 
Ummmm, it's over, nobody wins
