Lyrics
English = The sky is red tonight We're on the edge tonight No shooting star to guide us

Eye for an eye Why tear each other apart? Please tell me why Why do we make it so hard? Look at us now We only got ourselves to blame It's such a shame

How many times can we win and lose? How many times can we break the rules? Between us Only teardrops

How many times do we have to fight? How many times till we get it right? Between us Only teardrops

So come and face me now Here on the stage tonight Let's leave the past behind us

Eye for an eye Why tear each other apart? Please tell me why Why do we make it so hard? Look at us now We only got ourselves to blame It's such a shame

Tell me How many times can we win and lose? How many times can we break the rules? Between us Only teardrops

How many times do we have to fight? How many times till we get it right? Between us Only teardrops

(Tell me now) What's gone between us? Has come between us? Only teardrops (Tell me now) What's gone between us? Has come between us?

How many times can we win and lose? How many times can we break the rules? Between us Only teardrops

How many times do we have to fight? How many times till we get it right? Between us Only teardrops Only teardrops Oh... only teardrops Only teardrops

How many times can we win and lose? How many times can we break the rules? Between us Only teardrops

How many times do we have to fight? How many times till we get it right? Between us Only teardrops
