[Verse 1]
Is this just what men do?
Do women do this too?
Hurting lovers just because they can
If this is love then I don't understand

[Verse 2]
Is this the way it ends?
Diving up our friends
Are smiling happy families just for show?
If this is love then I don't want to know

[Chorus]
Now it comes down to the bare bones of survival
From the morning light to the dead of night, survival
Hour by hour, day by day, one step at a time
I'm not even reaching for revival
I'm just praying for survival

[Verse 3]
Is this just how things are?
Lipstick coloured scars
Have tainted all the memories we made
If this is love I'd rather walk away

[Chorus]
Now it comes down to the bare bones of survival
From the morning light to the dead of night, survival
Hour by hour, day by day, one step at a time
I'm not even reaching for revival
I'm just praying for survival
[Bridge]
A beating heart's a sign of life
Yeah, well living is a point of view
Broken hearts can go on beating too

[Chorus]
Now it comes down to the bare bones of survival
From the morning light to the dead of night, survival
Hour by hour, day by day, one step at a time
I'm not even reaching for revival
I'm just praying for survival
