TWO BROKEN HEARTS LONELY LOOKING LIKE
HOUSES WHERE NOBODY LIVES.
TWO PEOPLE EACH HAVING SO MUCH PRIDE INSIDE,
NEITHER SIDES FORGIVES.

THE ANGRY WORDS SPOKEN IN HASTE,
SUCH A WASTE OF TWO LIVES.
IT'S MY BELIEF, PRIDE IS THE CHIEF CAUSE AND THE DECLINE
IN THE NUMBERS OF HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

A WOMAN AND A MAN, A MAN AND A WOMAN,
SOME CAN AND SOME CAN'T, AND SOME CAN'T.
