I NEVER WANTED US 

Music: Martinsen/Schau

Lyrics: Schau

 

I never wanted us to work

There was less pain to be had from death than birth

 

Time has passed 

Since that photograph

Look at us laugh

It hurts

What shall I be

When there is no we 

Only me

That hurts

 

I never wanted us to fall in love

I had only one heart and it was more than heavy enough

Time has passed 

Since that photograph

Look at us laugh

It hurts

What shall I be

When there is no we 

Only me

That hurts

 

The love-shaped hole in this broken heart

Is still bleeding, has not yet scarred

 

I never wanted us to even meet

We’re surrounded by gods, how can I compete

 

Time has passed 

Since that photograph

Look at us laugh

It hurts

What shall I be

When there is no we 

Only me
