The Love We're Hoping For

When the morning was clear

Blackened affairs

And she could not breathe

'Cause she felt scared

Couldn't help but stare

Out of the window

Even though she wouldn't go outside

She wouldn't answer the door

Curtains were drawn

And the house was cold

Her children were old

And they did not care

That's what she thought

When they tried to help

But she wouldn't answer the door

And the love we're hoping for is dying

Just like this city, that we're all in

As time went on, she felt she belonged

In a trapped domain, drove her insane

And the man she loved, over the years

They would only use her

They would only use her

'Cause the love we're hoping for is dying

Just like this city, that we're all in

When the morning was clear

Blackened affairs

And she could not breathe

'Cause she felt scared

Couldn't help but stare

Out of the window

Even though she never went outside

And the love we're hoping for is dying

Just like this city, that we're all in

And the love we're hoping for is dying

Just like this city, that we're all in
