Hopeless

I won’t be begging you

Please don’t go so soon

You must, I understand

Those with nothing win

 

Oh your sweet spirit

Got me out of my head

Let it burn into your skull

There’s so much love for you

 

It’s one life

For a minute

I let you be in it

Though you say that we’re hopeless

I know this

 

Stay soft my friend

Remember when it comes again

It’s easy to harden against

But no good will come to you

 

I am here but I too may go

My body cares for nothing anymore

And what’s it for, in the end, when

Those with nothing win?

 

It’s one life

For a minute

I let you be in it

Though you say that we’re hopeless

I know this

 

And we laughed a lot

Jumping from thought to thought

Drew our cards, laid ’em right

Love’s fortune just out of sight

And if I knew back then

I wish we’d stayed just friends

Empty handed again

But those with nothing win

 

It’s one life

For a minute

I let you be in it

Though you say that we’re hopeless

I know this

 

It’s one life

For a minute

I let you be in it

Though you say that we’re hopeless

I know this
