Should we ever write the play
We'd never need rehearse
'Cause everything we say
Someone's said it first
The light is fading
And so are we
We both need saving
We're just too tired of everything
And how long, and how much pain,
do we need to feel, before we start again?
And how long do we need to cry,
before the tears go cold, before the lies run dry?
We never lived the dream
'Cause that's what dreaming's for
But everything we've done
Someone's done before
The bell is sounding
For you and me
And I can't watch you drowning
But you won't take a hand from me
And how long, and how much pain,
do we need to feel, before we start again?
And how long do we need to cry,
before the tears go cold, before the lies run dry?
And I, I didn't want this
I should have been there
I could have stuck this out with you
And how long, and how much pain,
do we need to feel, before we start again?
And how long do we need to cry,
before the tears go cold, before the lies run dry?
I didn't want this
I did it anyway
