We hate everyone we meet

Cause they think that they are sweet

Live together in a house

Life is easy in this town

And from the day that you were born

You made it clear that you are torn

Between joy and misery

Happy times, agony

Or is that just me?

This is a portrait of a life

This is a photo on the wall

This is the sharp edge of a knife

Ending it all

Ending it all

We hear laughter all around

Cover ears, escape the sounds

But feel guilty later on

Cause we know that we are wrong

And from the day that you were born

You made it clear that you are torn

Between joy and misery

Happy times, agony

Or is that just me?

This is a portrait of a life

This is a photo on the wall

This is the sharp edge of a knife

Ending it all

Ending it all

Oooh...

This is a portrait of a life

This is a photo on the wall

This is the sharp edge of a knife

Ending it all

Ending it all
