Doesn’t Anybody Stay Together Anymore Lyrics by Phil Collins

The Platinum Collection

1985

[Verse 1]
You keep on walking so you don't fall down
It's the same old story
You keep on hiding so you can't be found
It's the same old story
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but I know you, you're the one who ran
You know why, it's because you can
Oh, it's alright, 'cause I don't mind
I'm just trying to help
[Chorus]
But I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
[Verse 2]
My friends keep falling and they can't get up
It's the same old story
Well, one says white and the other one black
It's the same old story
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know why you keep emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
It's alright, 'cause I don't mind
I'm just trying to help
[Chorus]
But I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
Oh, I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
[Bridge]
Things can change from a misunderstanding (Oh-oh)
Nobody talks, nobody hears (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Makes me wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
Oh, I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
[Verse 3]
You keep on looking for that higher ground
It's the same old story
Your glass is empty and the chips are down
It's the same old story
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't know why your emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
It's alright, 'cause I don't mind
I'm just trying to help
[Chorus]
But I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
Oh, I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
Oh, I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
Oh, I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
Oh, I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
Oh, I wonder why
