It was like this when we found it A total catastrophe Hope is but a four letter word Our hands soaked in apathy Someone else did this So it's not ours to fix Won't be better when we leave it No regrets, no apology Broken and beyond repair Is this our cross to bear? Sometimes I wish we'd die in our sleep So as our children won't have to Someone else did this So it's not ours to fix Pass the past to the future Make it last As our gift Someone else did this So it's not ours to fix Pass the past to the future Make it last As our gift
