Wasn't it sweet To have warm lentil soup in the cold? And parents in love— or so we were told Our tears wept off-date Some too soon, most too late Singing lullabies that never grew old Oh, oh Growing up shouldn't mean growing apart How'd we finish when we didn't start? I got lost on the way to my heart Innocence is such a sorry thing to quell They wish us off; they don't wish us well Though who's to blame is too tough to tell When "truth", in youth, reduced, is deceit But wasn't it sweet To have piles of pyrite for free? They shone like an esca for fools in the sea Gilded so neatly With lies told so sweetly And promises with no guarantee Oh, oh Growing up shouldn't mean growing apart How'd we finish when we didn't start? I got lost on the way to my heart Innocence is such a sorry thing to quell They wish us off; they don't wish us well Though who's to blame is too tough to tell When "truth", in youth, reduced, is deceit And the question Rises of why twenty years was a lie A fish in the sky A laugh through a frown When we're younger we don't ask them why then one day we try and we're told "sit down" On the ground, in a town, in a world Where so many would rather just Cover their head with a sheet. Oh, but wasn't it sweet To have brothers whom you'd never meet? And bags from the food bank Which seemed such a treat Watching parables thrive In a star so AliVe Pouring tears to hear a hallowed heart beat But wasn't it sweet To have— Oh, oh Growing up shouldn't mean growing apart How'd we finish when we didn't start? I'm still lost on the way to my heart Innocence is such a sorry thing to quell They wish us off; they don't wish us well Though who's to blame is too tough to tell When "truth", in youth, reduced, is deceit But wasn't it sweet?
