You came like a motherless child
Empty-handed and starry-eyed
I took you in under my wing
I tried to fix your, fix your broken dream
Like the fall of ancient Rome
Brick by brick and stone by stone
Doesn't matter how far you've come
You've always got further, further to go
The story's a story
That you told
Somehow brought a sense of hope
You knew how hard I'd fall
That's the cruelest thing of all
Hey, hey, babe
It was always you and I
Sometimes we almost touch
Sometimes we almost touch

Blue skies
But your dead weight pulled me down
Hey, hey, babe
Like the lovers by the wall
Somehow I knew we'd lose it all
So long, hey, hey
Bye-bye, bye-bye
You said you loved me
With all you've got
But you don't know a thing about love
You built me an empty shrine
Of stardust and rusty knives
You knew how hard I'd fall
That's the cruelest thing of all
You said you loved me





But you know you're never gonna get back
Hey, hey, babe
It was always you and I
Sometimes we almost touch
Blue skies
But your dead weight pulled me down
Hey, hey, babe
Like the lovers by the wall
A final kiss when darkness comes
This was so long, hey, hey, bye-bye, bye-bye
We were always in love as women
Such a beautiful, endless descent
Yeah, we were always in love as women
We were always, we were always in love
Such a beautiful, endless descent
We were always, we were always in love
In love
