Push and Pull

[Verse 1]
All I'm tryin' to do is just give you some good advice
And you give it so freely, but hey, this is my life
You don't have to be cruel, you don't have to be so cold
I guess we're both hellbent on keepin' our own control

[Chorus]
So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
We cut to the bone but just as soon as it mends
We're back to push and pull and oh, it never ends

[Verse 2]
Mothers, daughters, son, fathers and friends
Siblings, couples and lovers are always in
Some situation forcing them to go
Straight for the heart and injuring the soul

[Chorus]
So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
We cut to the bone but just as soon as it mends
We're back to push and pull and oh, it never ends

[Bridge]
We might just start up a fight
'Cause we just can't leave it alone
Tellin' each other, "It's just 'cause I love you"
Are we ever gonna get along?

[Chorus]
So I push you away and then I pull you in
We say what we have to say and make up again
But if we try, you and I could make amends
'Cause in push and pull, nobody ever wins
It's a push and pull, when will it ever
