Just to say we're sorry
for the black eyes
and bleeding lips
when it's hard to forget
how many lies we've told
or how old we'd grow
before I said goodbye
So let's scrape our knees
on the playground
It's not your fault
you feel okay
It's too late
in the day
It's not your fault
you feel betrayed
You can't come
out to play
I never listened
to a word
you never said
I never listened
to a word
you never said
Wasting the hours now
We're all suckers
for tragedies
And start this
over again
And you bring us
to our knees
As sunrise comes
and the story will sell
there'll be
a hundred papers
So we'll follow you up
It's not your fault
you feel okay
It's too late
in the day
It's not your fault
you feel betrayed
You can't come
out to play
I never listened
to a word
you never said
I never listened
to a word
you never said
So raise your hands
up high
and let this rain
pour on
So raise your hands
up high
and wash us away
Like innocence and
and childbirth
you look just
like your mother
and you look just
like your father
Forgive him our father
Your son is smiling
So lay roses around you
