"I Bring Out the Worst In You"

I bring out the worst in you; you bring out the worst in me.
So what are we doing here arguing with destiny?
This kind of love will never work; it can only bring us pain.
Why then do I feel so hurt when I think of never seeing you again?

I bring out your darkest moods; you bring out my jealousy.
Oh, whatever happened to that happy couple we used to be?
What's happened to our common sense? It surely must have taken flight.
'Cause both of us are so hell-bent on staying here tonight.

Why can't I let go of you? Why can't you let go of me?
Can't you see her waiting in the wings impatiently?
There must be a power that is holding us we don't have the strength to break,
Or maybe we're not tough enough to admit to such a big mistake.

So I bring out the worst in you; you bring out the worst in me.
Is this what you want to do? Keep on arguing with destiny?
This kind of love will never work; it can only bring us pain.
Why then do I feel so hurt when I think of never seeing you again?
Why then do I feel so hurt when I think of never seeing you again?

I bring out the worst in you; you bring out the worst in me.
