[Intro]
Wish we had a different story to tell tonight
Wish that everything we felt wasn't really a lie
And we should have killed this love when we tried to survive
Woah-oh
Woah-oh

[Verse 1]
Like a shadow in the morning
Always running from the daylight
Waiting for the next night
Sun is always comin'
There's no escape at all
We've been dreaming
Maybe we could find a way
Somehow, someday
But right now we're still wide awake
Where's an angel when you need a miracle?
Looking up, but you never see the halo
But in the end, we're all alone

[Chorus]
The tragedy of us
Is that we're going down
Baby, we're going down
The tragedy of us
We're never gettin' out
No, never gettin' out
Locked in together
Prisoner to our broken hearts
Chained to forever
We can't escape the tragedy of us
The tragedy of us, ah
[Verse 2]
It's like a dead-end road when it's you and I
Karma really coming for us every night
If we stay like this, it's a suicide
Nothing can make it right
And there's no end in sight

[Pre-Chorus]
We won't let go
No, I don't wanna hurt you
You don't wanna hurt me
I need to know
Tell me if we really chose this life?
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
What's our destiny?
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Why do this to me
Another time and another place
Another life and another way

[Chorus]
The tragedy of us
Is that we're going down
Baby, we're going down
The tragedy of us
We're never getting out
No, never getting out
Locked in together
Prisoner to our broken hearts
Chained to forever
We can't escape the tragedy of us
The tragedy of us
The tragedy of us
[Bridge]
How can God just play with his little thing
Like a little kid swinging on a swing
If he knew this hurt between you and me
He could never sleep with this pain
Start the world over again

[Pre-Chorus]
We won't let go
No, I don't wanna hurt you
You don't wanna hurt me
I need to know
Tell me if we really chose this life?
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
What's our destiny?
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Why do this to me
Another time and another place
Another life and another way

[Chorus]
The tragedy of us
Is that we're going down
Baby, we're going down
The tragedy of us
We're never getting out
No, never getting out
Locked in together (Locked in together)
Prisoner to our broken hearts
Chained to forever (Chained to forever)
We can't escape the tragedy of us
The tragedy of us
The tragedy of us
[Outro]
Why is our love a tragedy? (Why is our love?)
Why is our love a tragedy? (Why is our love?)
Why is our love a tragedy? (Why is our love?)
Why us, why us, why us, why us, why us?
Why is our love a tragedy? (Why is our love?)
Why is our love a tragedy? (Why is our love?)
Why is our love a tragedy? (Why is our love?)
Why us, why us, why us, why us, why us?
