We only weep for ourselves I think I’ll save it for a Saturday Standing in line again just passing time
We like to keep to ourselves Hide in the back room in a corner by the door Nobody sees you at all just a camera on the wall
Would you trade an hour of your life for mine? I would if I could but I just don’t have the time
Sometimes we sit by ourselves With our heads down keeps the sun out of my eyes Looking at smoke and shadows on the ground
Remember when we were small When everything was bright and right ahead Waiting for time to bring me something new
If I gave you the time of day would you know? Would you tell me when to come and when to go?
Sometimes we sleep by ourselves Alone in the dark I dance with many loves Anyone I can find there in my mind
Sometimes we say to ourselves I want to know you but I don’t know what to ask To answer the questions that you bring to mind
If I told you a thing or two would you care? Would you touch me to know if I’ve gone or if I’m there?
We only weep for ourselves I think I’ll save it for a Saturday Standing in line again just passing time
Before we weep for ourselves Weep for the sad ones who don’t know how to cry With oceans and oceans of tears behind their eyes We only weep for ourselves
