Unequal Values

We've been here before and we'll be here again
 We seem to look for something that's missing
 And when we can't see eye to eye
 Then we know it is killing
 This isn't a game about the score
 At least we'd understand that more
 So, when we cannot find our common ground
 Feels like our world is breaking
 But maybe this time we can start anew
 Maybe this time it'll all come true
 Can we burn it away and start again?
 Burn it away
 But after the smoke clears it will not go away
 It just pushes back for another day
 And no matter how many things are agreed
 These unequal values will always impede
 These steps that we take are hard to imagine
 Maybe it's something we all go through
 We simply hold on to the good times
 Before it all comes crashing down
 We try so much we try so hard
 We know it shouldn't be this way
 So, when we cannot find our common ground
 Feels like our world is breaking down
 Lost for so long
 Something feels wrong
 Alter our key values so that we get along
 I know it's wearing thin
 But fix it up again
 Time after time, yeah, I know it is broken
 Are we so blind to see?
 How long can we believe?
 Time after time, yeah, I know it is broken
 And after the smoke clears it will not go away
 But maybe this time we can start anew
 Maybe this time it'll all come true
 Just burn it away and start again
 Just burn it away
 Maybe it's time to just let go?
 If I ever get there I'll let you know
 Lost for so long
 Something feels wrong
 Alter our key values so that we get along
 Lost for so long
 Something feels wrong
 Alter our key values so that we get along
 I know it's wearing thin
 But fix it up again
 Time after time, yeah, I know it is broken
 Are we so blind to see?
 How long can we believe?
 Time after time, yeah, I know it is broken
 And after the smoke clears it will not go away
