Children, in a happy home
And love is all we have
And love is all we have
I've been disappearing
Well love is not enough
Well love is not enough
I'd never thought I'd be so dumb
Blaming everybody for the things I've done
I'd never thought I'd be so cruel
For breaking your heart for telling me the truth
Its singing till my song went flat
No I don't wanna sing another song like that
No I don't wanna sing another song like that
Children lead me to my favourite one
Well she knows the name I call
When I cry and cry and cry
All these, for the greater good in us
Baby stand me on my feet
Throw your fist across my cheek
I'd never thought I'd be so dumb
Blaming everybody for the things I've done
I'd never thought I'd be so cruel
For breaking your heart for telling me the truth
It's singing till my song went flat
No I don't wanna sing another song like that
No I don't wanna sing another song like that
I want you to take me back
A what did I met you there
Well I was nothing to you
And you were nothing to me
Well see if I love the future
For the pleasure and pain
You know I would
Yes I'd do it over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
I'd never thought I'd be so dumb
Blaming everybody for the things I've done
I'd never thought I'd be so cruel
Breaking your heart for telling me the truth
Its singing till my song went flat
No I don't ever wanna sing another song like that
No I don't wanna sing another song like that
