Hope Of The States

An argument, an ambulance
The sound of sirens in my head just like you're singing to me
I don't think this is how it goes
They tried their best but made you wrong
You run away but never know what you're running from
You know it wasn't meant to go like this
What you want you're never gonna get
Unless you are prepared to be alone
If you think you've got to have it all
You've got to be prepared to give it up
You bought a house, you made a home
You had some kids and got convinced you were doing well
Who said that was the only way to go?
So look at your friends, look at us all
And see how dumb we've become when we grow up
I'm so proud of everyone
What you want you're never gonna get
Unless you are prepared to be alone
If you think you've got to have it all
You've got to be prepared to give it up
What you want you're never gonna get
Unless you are prepared to be alone
If you think you've got to have it all
You've got to be prepared to give it up
