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
