Push and Pull

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 hellbent on keepin' 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 mends
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 situations forcin' them to go
Straight through the heart and injuring the sun
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 and just as soon as it mends
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
Tellin' each other it’s just 'cause I love you
Are we ever gonna get alone
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…
