We knew what was coming, and we wouldn't miss it.
We took the liberty of leaving the room.
There are others that came and took our places.
We had the feeling they were better looking.
We can choose and have possibilities:
Between pizza toppings and TV channels
The good news, the small victory:
Our parents get to keep the apartment
Three experiences later
Five broken dreams
and all well and good
A lost belief
It didn't matter what everyone said
It didn't matter whether we realized it
The whole truth is
They've done nothing to us
The good and the bad and too much of both
The door that opens now and shuts behind us
The absent hand that you're not holding in yours
The truth is, they've done nothing to us
We had the time and we could've thought about it
and decided in favor or against it
Hours have passed with our eyes on the wall
Then, the decision was out of our hands
We can choose between was and is
If we go, there's the hope of being missed by someone
The whole truth, if I depart:
Does the sun miss the moon and the stars?
Three disappointments later
Five destroyed hopes
and all well and good
A lost belief
It didn't matter what everyone said
It didn't matter whether we realized it
The whole truth is
They've done nothing to us
The good and the bad and too much of both
The door that opens now and shuts behind us
The absent hand that you're not holding in yours
The truth is, they've done nothing to us
The righteousness of the good and the sins of the others
The absent power to change the direction
Not what one lacks, but what one has
The truth is, they've done nothing to us
