I promise I don’t understand what we did wrong
If talking is a sin, then blame us on
Apologies, though they won’t work when there’s no guilt
I guess the pride is the burden you have to live with

We don’t try to be pretentious
But if that’s the way it has to be…

We try so hard to keep this up
We’re holding up so tight
While you’re crying, and you’re fighting against all our beliefs
And all you get is your fears.

If you complain about something make sure you didn’t spark it off
We are all players in this game
Oh ma’am, don’t take the victim role here
Boasting ‘bout integrity doesn’t match
With the fact of using our private talks to shoot us in our backs

But there’s still hope
We all deserve a second chance

We try so hard to keep this up
We’re holding up so tight
While you’re crying, and you’re fighting against all our beliefs
And all you get is your fears.

You give us lessons of how we have to live
When you don’t know what this is
Family!

'Cause we try so hard
There's nothing left behind
While you’re crying, and you’re fighting against all our beliefs
And all you get is your fears.
Whoa, oh oh oh
Whoa, oh oh oh
ah ah ah ah ah oh
