[Verse 1:]
Left and right they're calling me back home
And I've heard their cries, I've felt it in my bones
Left and right they choke me tight, I'm overworn and out of sight
I've heard their cries, I've felt it in my bones
[Verse 2:]
Been searching for a long time in this town
But looking for a gold mine so we can get out
To find a place or waste away
Another day that goes by, another card
We know we should be grateful but sometimes it's hard
We're so alone, but it's not for long
[Chorus:]
Well maybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts forever, time will always take its toll
And if a broken home is on the shelf
You know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family role?
[Verse 3:]
Been dreaming of those bright lights in the city
Waking with a cold fright, oh what a pity
A bad night's sleep, the fourth this week
You're longing for a partner to get you through
Wishing that in time, you'll find someone
To hold onto
[Chorus:]
But maybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts forever, time will always take its toll
And if a broken home is on the shelf
You know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family role?
[Bridge:]
Heavens have you seen, the news that's on the screen?
It's all violence, hearbreak and misery
Heavens have you seen, what they have done to me?
I'm a hallow shell from the grim 90's
[Chorus:]
Maybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts forever, time will always take its toll
And if a broken home is on the shelf
You know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family role?
