All I'm trying 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 hell-bent on keeping our own control 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 ends We're back to push and pull and oh, it never ends Mothers, daughters, sons, fathers and friends Siblings, couples and lovers are always in Some situation forcing them to go Straight from the heart and injuring the soul 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 ends We're back to push and pull and oh, it never ends We might just start up a fight, cause we just can't leave it alone Telling each other it's just cause I love you, are we ever gonna get along? 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 tried, you and I could make amends Cause in push and pull, nobody ever wins It's a push and pull, win-win it ever It's a push and pull, win-win it ever
