- The Answering Machine - Rules
- .
- The rules you set when we''re apart,
- They''re broken from the start,
- But your regimented heart
- Can''t understand this.
- .
- You blame me,
- You read between the lines.
- You misread all the signs,
- Investigate the crimes,
- I detect the problem''s you.
- .
- I''m a broken window,
- I''m an open door,
- I give a little less,
- You take a little more.
- We can''t have it all...
- .
- On a burning page,
- As your heart puts up the barricades,
- As it all begins to fade,
- I''ll still love you.
- .
- On a wounded stage,
- In the performance of a serenade,
- Even in this mess we''ve made,
- I''ll still love you...
- .
- But there''s no use,
- Whichever way I''ll lose,
- If you set the rules!
- .
- We fight,
- Your punches hit me hard,
- But it''s your words that leave the scars,
- And as the sky bleeds stars,
- You tell me that we''re through.
- But I can''t lose you.

- I''m a broken window,

- I give a little less,
- You take a little more,
- We had it all...

- Oh, we''re holding on,
- We''re holding on
- You got me wrong,
- Oh so wrong.
- We''re holding on,
- We''re holding on

- Oh so wrong.
