  • Jackie wants a black eye
    Some proof that she's been hit
    And John wants the answers
    But the questions just don't quit
    And we're sitting in the rain
    And we're feeling like the weather.
    You could say that we're alone
    But we're lonely together

    We're all in it together now
    As we all fall apart
    And we're swapping little pieces
    Of our broken little hearts.

    Jackie is jumping in the quicksand
    But it isn't what you think.
    She's safe because she knows
    The more you fight, the more you sink
    And John is following the black cloud
    To keep him from the sun.
    So he bends over now
    Something has finally begun.

    And we're all in it together now
    As we all fall apart
    And we're swapping little pieces
    Of our broken little hearts.

    And we've been hurting so long
    That our pleasure is our pain.
    Are we madly in love
    Or are we madly insane?
    When yesterday's love defines you
    And today that love is gone
    Tomorrow keeps you guessing
    The roller coaster is rolling on.

    And we're all in it together now
    As we all fall apart
    And we're swapping little pieces
    Of our broken little hearts.
    And we're all in it together now
    As we all fall apart
    And we're swapping little pieces
    Of our broken little hearts. Writer/s: SCOTT MCMICKEN, TOBY LEAMAN
