She stayed up all night

And cried into her pillow

And fought off the urge

To just break down and call



Last night the fight, the fall

Seemed so darned easy

But now who's to blame

Don't matter much at all



She thinks if she calls him

It just shows weakness

So the hurt goes on

With every tear she's cried



Ain't it sad to see

A good love fall to pieces?

Chalk another heartbreak up

To foolish pride



[CHORUS]

Turn out the lights

The competition's over

The stubborn souls

Are the losers here tonight

And while the bridges burn

Another hard, hard lesson's learned

As in the ashes

Passion slowly dies

And this romance goes down

To foolish pride



He relives every word

They spoke in anger

He walks the floor

And punches out the wall



To apologize to her

Would be so simple

But instead he cries

"I'll be damned if I call"



If he loses her

He's lost his best friend

And more than just

A lover can provide



So he wrestles with emotions

That defeat him

Chalk another love lost up

To foolish pride



[REPEAT CHORUS]



Chalk another love lost up

To foolish pride

Yeah
