And i was a boy from school
helplessly helping all [bad word] and there was a boy at school
hopelessly wrestling all his fools
and there was a girl at school
blaming all the words she learned from home
nothing could keep her a child
long hours don't you know we try

we try but we didn't have long
we try but we don't belong
we try but we didn't have long
we try but we don't belong

now i meet you on the street
harmlessly [bad word]  we meet
lives are found and love's are lost
say goodbye to nothing everything caused
now i find you on my street [bad word] hopelessly we meet
lives are found but love's are lost
say goodbye to everything, nothing caused

we try but we didn't have long
we try but we don't belong
we try but we didn't have long
we try but we don't belong
