Broken Hope

So don't you try and tell me
That we all need love
Because it doesn't exist around here no more
Its floating like a dove,
In the wind.

Time to batter down the hatches again
The bell's gone, round one has just begun
I cant remember how it started
Something about its not working anymore, says mum
So i sneak out through the back door
Out to my new home on the street corner
I reckon they'll be finished by ten,
Both tired but neither none the wiser,

So don't you try and tell me
That we all need love
Because it doesn't exist around here no more
Its floating like a dove,
In the wind.

So the dust settles at last tonight
And it wont rise again until this time tomorrow
Debris scattered around on the floor,
Shattered glass, well I guess you reap what you sow
I'm loosing my sense of equilibrium
Neither one concedes defeat to the other
Caught in the crossfire of a lover's requiem,
Gotta run, from the endless complications,

So don't you try and tell me
That we all need love
Because it doesn't exist around here no more
Its floating like a dove,
In the wind.

A bloodstain on the carpet,
If it's not themselves, it's me,
What if I never come home again,
Cause right now I'm on my knees...
