| She’s alright, she lies and tells herself
|
| Through every artificial smile
|
| Since he walked, and left her with their unborn child
|
| Denial
|
| Stop the world
|
| Life’s a rip-off and she’s more than paid the price
|
| Looks around at what’s left of her burning paradise
|
| But don’t you know…
|
| When hope is gone
|
| Looking for a reason just to carry on
|
| To lay that burden down you’ve carried way too long and
|
| Holding on
|
| When the dream’s foreclosed and life is overdrawn
|
| There’s currency left in this bankrupt world after all
|
| Take a bow
|
| He says «I've blown it all
|
| And burned my whole world to the ground
|
| Checking out
|
| 'Cause no one will miss me now»
|
| Lost it all
|
| Thinks he defaulted on this life
|
| Beyond the pale
|
| Sixteen pennies short of his coffin’s final nail
|
| But it’s not for sale…
|
| When hope is gone…
|
| On the darkest day, they all went away
|
| One by one, they turned and walked the other way…
|
| In despair and desperation
|
| She calls upon a long-forgotten friend
|
| Always there, closer than a brother 'til the end
|
| When hope is gone
|
| Looking for a reason just to carry on
|
| To lay that burden down you’ve carried way too long and
|
| Holding on
|
| When the dream’s foreclosed and life is overdrawn
|
| There’s currency left in this bankrupt world after all |
