you don't think i like your ways
well it's hard to be nice all the time
there is nothing wrong with you
i can tell you that's not what you usually say

so you show me some letters
your old girlfriend sent you
when she was in love
she writes about loving
she seems so knowing
still she didn't know a thing

chorus
it's hard to be without you
but it's so hard to breathe when i'm with you
you show me some good things
but you are also the dark side of life

a monday morning with nothing to do
this is the best part of the week
we sit around and talk about things
sometimes it makes me sad
sometimes it's nice

so you show me some letters
your old girlfriend sent you
when she was in love
she writes about loving
she seems so knowing
still she didn't know a thing

chorus
it's hard to be without you
but it's so hard to breathe when i'm with you
you show me some good things
but you are also the dark side of life
