New Way Out

(album: Heartbeat - 1987)

I know how hard she'll take it
When she finds out I can't stay
So I don't want to have to tell her
If there's any other way.
Is there any new way out
Hearts are never broken.
Is there any new way out?
And no-one's ever hurt in anger.
New way out, and harsh words are never spoken.
Is there any new way out?

Now it only stands to reason
With all the plans that miss
That someone might have stumbled
On a better way than this.
Is there any new way out
Where tears are never needed?
Is there any new way out
Where no-one ever needs surrender
New way out, neither side's mistreated.
Is there any new way out?

Is there any new way out
Where hearts are never broken?
Is there any new way out
And no-one's ever hurt in anger?
New way out, and harsh words are never spoken.
Is there any new way out?
