You Wouldn't Say That to a Stranger Lyrics

I don't know why we act like that
You hurt me, I only hurt you back
I can't believe how carelessly we say those things
That put our love in dangerYou wouldn't say that to a stranger
We hurt the ones we love
When we say those words in anger
Do we ever make it upWe say what we don't mean
And then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a strangerLast night there was over in the air
Today it's gone just like it was never there
And I don't know where those hateful words come from
It goes against our natureYou wouldn't say that to a stranger
We hurt the ones we love
When we say those words in anger
Do we ever make it upWe say what we don't mean
And then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a strangerLet's pretend that we just met
And we said nothing we regretWe say what we don't mean

And then we say we're sorry later
But you wouldn't say that to a stranger
