lyrics

We gave it a try, we gave it our all
We traveled to unknown heights then we began to fall
It was fun while it lasted but love can't live on fun alone
On a train bound for heartache
I think we're better off than on

Today I heard one of our old songs
I turned it up but the feelin' was gone
Time has a way the pain don't last too long
On a train bound for heartache
I think we're better off than on

We didn't cheat and we didn't lie
But we had plenty of reasons to say goodbye
When the passion was lost the love began to die
I guess the two of us just didn't see eye to eye

We gave it a try, we gave our all
We traveled to unknown heights then we began to fall
It was fun while it lasted but love can't live on fun alone
On a train bound for heartache
I think we're better off than on
Better off than on
