It hurts to see my country so divided
I can’t express my sorrow
In so many words
But I shall give it a try
It’s like the loss of people you love most
Your best friend ran off with
Your lover and
Your lover and
You've lost them both
It’s like being second place in a tournament
When you know you’re number one
Playing Russian roulette
With a fully loaded gun
Playing Russian roulette
With a fully loaded gun
It’s like your mom and dad
Splitting up and
You can't understand why
You can't understand why
Blaming yourself
All you can do is cry
All you can do is cry
It’s like finding out you’re adopted
After 30 years
Screaming at the top of your voice
And no one hears
It’s like someone you trust
Delivering a backstabing thrust
The ones closest to you
Stomp your heart to dust
The ones closest to you
Stomp your heart to dust
It’s like trying to save a sinking soul and
Helplessly watching them drown
Walking empty streets where
No friends can be found
Helplessly watching them drown
Walking empty streets where
No friends can be found
It's like watching the moon fall from the sky
Seeing your purple mountain’s majesty
Destroyed from within
Hanging her head and watching her die!
