A father can give you his words
|
But words are just symbols for things.
|
And after he's gone
|
That's when you learn to sing.
|
|
A mother can give you her breast
|
But soon that's all she'll bring.
|
And when she's left
|
That's when you learn to sing.
|
|
People live this life.
|
I know we lie and deceive.
|
It's learned that I'm blind.
|
I just wanted
|
To believe.
|
|
And when your love grabs your arm
|
And whispers the sweetest of lies
|
And all those around you, they wonder
|
How can you've been surprised.
|
It's written in her eyes
|
That hope is a dangerous thing.
|
Nightingale, you stagger and fail
|
Is that how you've learned how to sing?
|
|
People live this life.
|
I know you lie and deceive.
|
I'm not so blind.
|
I just wanted...
|
|
People live the world.
|
I know you hurt and deceive.
|
I'm not so blind.
|
I just wanted
|
And I want, and I want
|
To believe.
|
|
And I want to believe. [x7]
|
And I just wanted...
