Never Tear Us Apart (INXS cover) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

[Chorus]
I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

[Verse 2]
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

[Chorus]
I,I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apart

[Chorus]
I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

[Chorus]
I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

[Chorus]
You was standing
I was there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

[Chorus]
I was standing
You were there

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
