Lyrics

Never Tear Us Apart

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live for a thousand years
But if I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears
I told you that we could fly
'Cause we all have wings but some of us don't know why

I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apart

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

You, you were standing
I was there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

I, I was standing
And you were there
Two worlds collided
They could never tear us apart

And they could never tear us apart
