I did my best,But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back Where we were both before
Seems nothing ever changes, We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we ought to stay Or head on out the door

Just once, can't we figure out What we keep doing wrong
Why we never last for very long What are we doing wrong
Just once, can't we find a way To finally make it right
To make the magic last for more Than just one night
If we could just get to it, I know we could break though it

I gave my all, But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing Whatever we've got going
And it seems at times with all we've got We haven't got a prayer

Just once, can't we figure out What we keep doing wrong
Why the good times never last for long Where are we going wrong
Just once, can't we find a way To finally make it right
To make the magic last for more Than just one night
I know we could break though it, If we could just get to it

Just once, I want to understand Why it always comes back to goodbye
Why can't we give ourselves a hand And admit to one another
We're no good without the other Did the best to make it better
Find a way to stay together

Just once, can't we find a way To finally make it right, whoa
To make the magic last for more Than just one night
I know we could break though it, If we could just get to it,
just once Whoa, we can get to it, just once
