Same as intro
Everytime we get up we'll be destined to fall
And I'm asking myself, is it worth this at all?
Every corner we turn we just run into walls
Because loving you feel's like a kick in your balls

And I'm asking myself, is it worth this at all? (worth this at all)
Every corner we turn we just run into walls
Because loving you feel's like a kick in your balls
