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.
