Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses where nobody lives Two people both having so much pride inside Neither side forgives Angry words spoken in haste Such a waste of two lives Its my belief pride is the chief cause In the decline In the number of husbands and wives. A man and a woman, woman and a man Some can, some can't, some can. Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses where nobody lives Two people both having so much pride inside Neither side forgives Angry words spoken in haste Such a waste of two lives Its my belief pride is the chief cause In the decline In the number of husbands and wives. Its my belief pride is the chief cause In the decline In the number of husbands and wives. Written by: R. Miller
