Just a pierced princess
With a petty look on life
Powder on your septum
A different place every night
Searching for credit under different bones
Looking for credit you feel you need to know
When will you learn the only credit you need
Is your own
And where were you when he cried
All alone late at night
Explain why I was the one who'd have died
Just to be in his arms
I'll keep him safe in my pocket
I'll keep him warm and I'll keep him locked in
All that weight, it gathers
To sit on your shoulders
But you're not alone
And where were you when he cried
All alone late at night
Explain why I was the one who'd have died
Just to be in his arms
And where were you when he cried
All alone late at night
Explain why I was the one who'd have died
Just to be in his arms
Only a friend if you're a stepping stone
Stealing their knowledge, claiming it as your own
You can change what you do
But what's done will be shone through the mist, make a wish to undo
I am ready, please
I can't take any more
And where were you when he cried
All alone late at night
Explain why I was the one who'd have died
Just to be in his arms
(Look at the stars)
Look up at the stars, look up at the sky tonight
They shine as bright for me as they do where you are
Side by side we will fight to survive
I'll survive
(Where were you)
(Where were you)
