They took us out into the world and asked us to behave
No lesson in human emotion
No relevant practical notion
And we were born out of the same mistakes they've always made
I love you, I love you, I love you
I hurt you, I hurt you, I hurt you
But nighttime
Always brings the worst in you
And sometimes
Hopefulness just feels untrue
We spent our every day undoing what we've always known
The shape of our walls of protection
Abuse we were sold as affection
And we'll distort the rights and wrongs of every lesson learned
Supporting our every connection
Expanding with every rejection
But nighttime
Always brings the worst in you
And sometimes
Hopefulness just feels untrue
When the night comes
I will help you ease the pain
But I can't take it all away and I won't share the blame
When the night comes
I will wipe away the shame
I can try to ease the pain
But I won't share the blame babe
No I won't share the blame
You keep people at a distance so they wouldn't prove you wrong
You are always in control, but that can't be and you can't take it
And you love it, so it's yours
And you love it, so it's yours
Yeah you love it so it's yours
You only love it so it's yours
And you love it, so it's yours
And you love it, so it's yours
Yeah you love it so it's yours
You only love it so it's yours
