We Were Children

It was a day like today A Sunday afternoon When they took you away Down to Hades in a shopping trolley With a magazine and a suitcase They stole your clothes I took your watch I couldn't look you in the eyes Why is it always those you love the most You criticise? Say oh no stranger You're just like me These things happen We were children In the mid-90s Say oh no stranger You're just like me We get older They get younger It was you or me We stood there Throwing ice cream in your hair Oh I solemnly swear It's the thing I life I regret the most Leaving you standing there And if you asked me I'd pull my eyes out And when I woke up blind If you forgave me I would sleep at night Knowing I've led a good life Say oh no stranger You're just like me These things happen We were children In the mid-90s Say oh no stranger You're just like me We get older They get younger It was you or me Learning how to keep living Oh no stranger You're just like me These things happen We were children In the mid-90s Say oh no stranger You're just like me We get older They get younger It was you or me
