lyrics

The lights went out in this city of ours
I guess I can’t explain

And I will never see the sun again
or whisper your name

It’s such a shame, shame, shame
This is part of their plan
Now I’m stuck, now I’m stuck without aim

And I remember all of it, the moment when we couldn’t breathe
Everything has changed

I miss your soul, the way you carry yourself, and your gentle eyes
You were right, you were right, tell me how does it feel
to feel so alive

Goodnight, goodbye, we keep our heads up high
Even though our path is unclear

Our city is no longer here
Couldn’t fight them off my dear
Who are we to blame?

It’s just the same, it’s just the same as it was
We give our lives, give our lives just because
Maybe now they will open their eyes
It can’t hurt

Yeah they should see, they should see it our way
But they don’t care, don’t care about us at all
And someday, they’ll have to open their eyes
It will hurt

It’s no surprise, the way it all turned out
The way these things often come about
You reach for me, and I don’t wanna let go
Wish they would see

Yeah they should see, they should see it our way
But they don’t care, don’t care about us at all
And someday, they’ll have to open their eyes and do what’s right

Cause they’re living life on the backs of all of you
And they do what they know they must do
If it hurts then they’re doing just fine
At least sometimes
