BMI We keep walking away for no reason at all And no one says a word We were always so busy protecting ourselves We never would have heard And the rate of attrition for lovers like us Is steadily on the rise Nobody's in love this year Not even you and I Due to lack of commitment on both of our parts We're going our separate ways This show of indifference is breaking our hearts It's making us crazy, yeah You sit back and wait for your love to accrue You'll be waiting a long, long time Nobody's in love this year Not even you and I I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable I don't want to get hurt I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable I don't want to be the one who gets left behind We keep walking away for no reason at all For the sake of being free No one's invested enough of themselves To yield to maturity And the rate of attrition for lovers like us Is steadily on the rise Nobody's in love this year Nobody wants to try Nobody's in love this year Not even you and I I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable I don't want to get hurt I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable I don't want to be the one who gets left behind
