Wasted all our hopes on a whim
And they let us down
It's all coming down again
In the end there was nothing left but questions
What started as a revolution petered out in guilt and shame
We were set to change the world
We were at the helm of something big
And it seems impossible that we should lose everything
Are you the only stranger?
Have you not seen?
We pasted all our hopes on him
Like the paper hearts on a homemade valentine
But we wasted all our hopes on a whim
They let us down
It's all coming down again
Still it's only three days past
Our king was cast and hope won't last
It was so much more then memories to haunt the past
Tell me, if you understand
What could have been, what should have been?
Yeah, if there's comfort anywhere it's resting now beneath the sand
Are you the only stranger?
Have you not seen?
We pasted all our hopes on him
Like the paper hearts on a homemade valentine
And we wasted all our hopes on a whim
They let us down
It's all coming down again
Oh, it's so foolish, oh, hurts so hard
The foolish remind that hearts are blind
(Oh, it's so foolish)
Would you open your mind and see?
(Oh, hearts so hard)
We pasted all our hopes on him
Like the paper hearts on a homemade valentine
We wasted all our hopes on a whim
And they let us down
It's all coming down
We wasted all our hopes on him
Like the paper hearts on a homemade valentine
And we wasted all our hopes on a whim
They let us down
It's all coming down
Whoa, whoa
It's all coming down
