Lyrics
We didn't mean to do it
But now we got to live through it
We didn't mean to break it
But now we don't know how to make it
Racing for survival instead of racing for the prize
My generation has decided to get old before it dies
Feeling that we're stealing what is really all our own
We've never been so close together or so very alone
We hide out in secret places that no-one knows were built
The tears on our faces are for milk that wasn't spilt
You can scratch away at us but you will never see the heart
That should be coming to an ending but it never tried to start
So we will go back to our houses built on someone else's street
Our hearts that never learned to love forgetting how to beat
When we leave this world in silence no-one left here will be sad
A silent exit when you entered screaming loudly isn't bad
A lonely woman asked for me to stop but I didn't even pause
And now I feel the hot regret of acting without a cause
We all need a secret hiding place we can romanticise
And you may laugh at lonely women but their tears are in your eyes.
But now we got to live through it
We didn't mean to break it
But now we don't know how to make it
Racing for survival instead of racing for the prize
My generation has decided to get old before it dies
Feeling that we're stealing what is really all our own
We've never been so close together or so very alone
We hide out in secret places that no-one knows were built
The tears on our faces are for milk that wasn't spilt
You can scratch away at us but you will never see the heart
That should be coming to an ending but it never tried to start
So we will go back to our houses built on someone else's street
Our hearts that never learned to love forgetting how to beat
When we leave this world in silence no-one left here will be sad
A silent exit when you entered screaming loudly isn't bad
A lonely woman asked for me to stop but I didn't even pause
And now I feel the hot regret of acting without a cause
We all need a secret hiding place we can romanticise
And you may laugh at lonely women but their tears are in your eyes.
