[Verse 1]
So we're back here again
Tiptoeing round the edge of the end
Wondering who will be last to admit
That we're finally over

[Verse 2]
Turned twenty one on a day that we met
Terrible shoes, implausible dress
It's funny how sad the funny things
Get as you grow older

[Chorus]
Better or worse, but what else can we do?
For better or worse, I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us, tell me who
Are we fooling?

[Verse 3]
I learnt the art of biting my tongue
I tired of trying to guess what was wrong
Both agreed on where we should go
But not how to get there

[Verse 4]
We tried and tried to loosen the knots
Thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off
But it's these failures and faults
That hold us together
[Chorus]
Better or worse, but what else can we do?
And better or worse, I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us, tell me
Who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
It's a beautiful knot that we just can't undo
Together we're one but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?

[Bridge]
Cause real love is hard love
It's all we have
It's a break-neck, train wreck
It's all we have

[Verse 5]
So we're back here again
Turning away from the edge of the end
Arm in arm

[Chorus]
Better or worse, but what else can we do?
And better or worse, I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us, tell me who
Are we fooling?
This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
It's a beautiful knot we just can't undo
If it's not either of us, tell me who
Are we fooling?

[Outro]
Together we're one, but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?
