We wasted all our hopes on a whim  They let us down  It's all coming down again    In the end, there was nothing left but questions  What started as a revolution  Petered out in guilty shame    We were set to change the world  We were at the helm of something big  It seems impossible that we should lose everything    Are you the only stranger?   And have you not seen?     We pasted all our hopes on him  Like the paper hearts on a homemade valentine  We wasted all our hopes on a whim  They let us down  It's all going down again    Still it's only three days past  Our king was cast and hope won't last  But it was so much more than 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?   And have you not seen?     We pasted all our hopes on him  Like the paper hearts on a homemade valentine  We wasted all our hopes on a whim  They let us down  It's all going down again    Oh, so foolish  Oh, hearts so hard  The bullets remind their hearts of bullets  Open your mind you'll see
