lyrics

You took my hand
And offered me a promise
To be my friend without end
No conditions
Sure to cloud my inhibitions
And shelter me from this big, bad, cruel world

What do we have to live for?
Who do we have to blame?
Something tells me there's much more
Than running round a silly game

I'm on the mend
I'm getting better
Trying to keep my ducks in a row
Get my house in order
Stop my mind thinking about things that don't matter
And situations that I just cannot change

What do we have to live for?
Who do we have to blame?
Something tells me there's much more
Than running round a silly game

What do we have to live for?
Who do we have to blame?
Something tells me there's much more
Than running round a silly game
