  • You say you're right, I'll say you're wrong
    You'll be polite, but continue on
    And I'll say it might be true
    If you want me to, ooh

    You say it's night, and I'll say it's morning
    You'll see the light, and pretend you don't
    And I'll close a blind, if you, really want me to
    If that's what you want to do

    But life has its own arranges
    As time passes on, it changes
    The hourglass moves on a grain
    And our path is torn and strained

    You say we fight, I'll say we argue
    Maybe you're right, that we really are through
    And I'll say goodbye, if you really want me to
    'Cause that's what I'm gonna do

    You say it's mine, I'll say it's yours
    Maybe the time has come, to finish our scores
    And I'll break my promise too, if you want me to
    That's what I'm gonna do

    But life has its own arranges
    As life passes on, we're strangers
    And our past is blown away
    The hourglass is thrown and breaks

    And I'll take a fall for you
    If that's what you want me to, ooh Writer/s: JAMES NEWTON HOWARD, JASON WADE, JUDE ANTHONY COLE
