We Never Killed Each Other (But Didn't We Try?)
V.1
Our eyes met and I didn't turn sick in the dance hall
We took to lovin' and the world didn't end in a fireball
As the years went past, my mind never snapped,
Though it stretched a lot
Now I'm a gettin' out with whatever little good I've got
V.2
'Cause you left somethin' on me, you might call an imprint
I never realized just how much my own neck meant
Guess a man gets morbid when there's pots in orbit and knives aloft
Better cut my losses, before something else gets cut off
Ch.
Yeah, we never killed each other - but didn't we try
Never did much harm, though we never let a chance go by
You can keep the love, I'm lucky just to be alive
We never killed each other, but didn't we try
V.3
Well, nothin' says love like an eight ounce glove, you used to tell me
But a second honeymoon in the emergency room ain't healthy
Though I shot the breeze with some cute md's and a nurse or two
I was always too beat-up to ever even cheat on you
V.4
Now, I'm no saint with a spotless record, that's certain
And if you add it all up, we both had a share in the hurtin'
We could check out soon, or we could lick our wounds
And just walk away
Lay down our arms, and live to love another day
Our eyes met and I didn't turn sick in the dance hall
We took to lovin' and the world didn't end in a fireball
As the years went past, my mind never snapped,
Though it stretched a lot
Now I'm a gettin' out with whatever little good I've got
V.2
'Cause you left somethin' on me, you might call an imprint
I never realized just how much my own neck meant
Guess a man gets morbid when there's pots in orbit and knives aloft
Better cut my losses, before something else gets cut off
Ch.
Yeah, we never killed each other - but didn't we try
Never did much harm, though we never let a chance go by
You can keep the love, I'm lucky just to be alive
We never killed each other, but didn't we try

Well, nothin' says love like an eight ounce glove, you used to tell me
But a second honeymoon in the emergency room ain't healthy
Though I shot the breeze with some cute md's and a nurse or two

V.4
Now, I'm no saint with a spotless record, that's certain
And if you add it all up, we both had a share in the hurtin'
We could check out soon, or we could lick our wounds
And just walk away
Lay down our arms, and live to love another day
