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 
And 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 
But it was so much more then memories to haunt the past 
Tell me, if you understand, what could have been, what should have been 
And 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 
But we wasted all our hopes on a whim 
And they let us down 
It's all coming down again 
Oh so foolish 
Oh hearts so hard the foolish remind that hearts are blind 
Would you open your mind and see?
