When we were children
The adults told us everything would be fine
But ever since we fell and got hurt when we were small
We've known that at times, life may hurt
And one day you'll wake up
And then there's no dear mother
Literally, 'cause everything on this planet is borrowed
That's the way it is, that's how it is to be human
Prepare yourself to lose [him/her] if you intend to love, 'cause
Time goes and it's time which tears us to pieces
This one is for us, us who still are here
We've learned from the darkest of times
That somehow, life has to go on
Time goes and it's time which tears us to pieces
Uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh
People like us
Oh oh oh oh
People like us
Oh oh oh oh
People like us
People like us, we do know that life goes on
When we were young
The old ones told us "Think things through and take care"
But we thought "What do they know? The don't understand
'Cause they've never been wild and young like us"
And one day, things will go wrong and you'll lose a friend
You'll realize that some days won't come back
And that's the way it is, you can feel alone
I'm still trying to make sense of it all as
Time goes and it's time which tears us to pieces
This one is for us, us who still are here
We've learned from the darkest of times
That somehow, life has to go on
Time goes and it's time which tears us to pieces
Uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh
People like us
Oh oh oh oh
People like us
Oh oh oh oh
People like us
People like us, we do know that life goes on
When I look at my mother and she laughs, I suddenly
Understand my journey, and honestly, I think that
The meaning of life
Has to be that it goes on
When I look at my brother and his kids, I suddenly
Understand my journey, and honestly, I think that
The meaning of life
Has to be passing it on
Time goes and it's time which tears us to pieces
This one is for us, us who still are here
We've learned from the darkest of times
That somehow, life has to go on
Time goes and it's time which tears us to pieces
Uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh
People like us
Oh oh oh oh
People like us
Oh oh oh oh
People like us
People like us, we do know that life goes on
