You came like a motherless childEmpty-handed and starry-eyedI took you in under my wingI tried to fix your, fix your broken dreamLike the fall of ancient RomeBrick by brick and stone by stoneDoesn't matter how far you've comeYou've always got further, further to goThe story's a storyThat you toldSomehow brought a sense of hopeYou knew how hard I'd fallThat's the cruelest thing of allHey, hey, babeIt was always you and ISometimes we almost touchSometimes we almost touchBlue skiesBut your dead weight pulled me downHey, hey, babeLike the lovers by the wallSomehow I knew we'd lose it allSo long, hey, heyBye-bye, bye-byeYou said you loved meWith all you've gotBut you don't know a thing about loveYou built me an empty shrineOf stardust and rusty knivesYou knew how hard I'd fallThat's the cruelest thing of allYou said you loved meBut you know you're never gonna get backHey, hey, babeIt was always you and ISometimes we almost touchBlue skiesBut your dead weight pulled me downHey, hey, babeLike the lovers by the wallA final kiss when darkness comesThis was so long, hey, hey, bye-bye, bye-byeWe were always in love as womenSuch a beautiful, endless descentYeah, we were always in love as womenWe were always, we were always in loveSuch a beautiful, endless descentWe were always, we were always in loveIn love*
