The world is a cruel place
Your black-and-white glasses were once rose-colored instead
On your door, you've written the word "leave" in white chalk
And with that, you'll have no more connections with the world
Once more, you'll hide away
Barring your windows for good
Hiding behind brick walls from the world's stupid problems
But love is attacking harder and harder
And the feeling of the outside world is unbearable
You'll escape again, going out to the street
Run...
Where you'll see people kissing
Run...
These people will grow old together, die together
But they still won't know how to love
And they still won't know how to love
And they still won't know how to love
You're all alone
Hiding your eyes again
From all the lies and what goes on outside
Leave - there's nothing to say
And already, it's getting hard to breathe
Once more, you'll hide away
Barring your windows for good
Hiding behind brick walls from the world's stupid problems
But love is attacking harder and harder
And the feeling of the outside world is unbearable
You'll escape again, going out to the street
Run...
Where you'll see people kissing
Run...
These people will grow old together, die together
But they still won't know how to love
