Children of Earth by Turn Left Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So ashamed of being human
They won’t stand and fight
They’re already broken
[Verse 2]
Save yourselves and when it’s done
When they’re questioned
It wasn’t us
[Chorus]
This, this is war
This, this is what we really are
So hold me tight
And say good bye
‘Cause all of this will end in five more nights
Coward, when it gets bad you turn and run
And though I thought so much of you, you let me down
Tell me, how are we meant to carry on
Is mine just one small fleeting life
Will you forget me when it’s gone?
[Verse 3]
I never thought you’d be that person
Who would be the one to watch us on a screen
Pray to God that it could be anybody but you
[Chorus]
‘Cause this, this is war
This, this is what we really are
So hold me tight
And say good bye
‘Cause all of this will end in five more nights
Coward, when it gets bad you turn and run
And though I thought so much of you, you let me down
Tell me, how are we meant to carry on
Is mine just one small fleeting life
Will you forget me when it’s gone?
[Bridge]
Is this everything you know?
Is this how far you would go?
Is this all we are?
Is this all we are?
And what would the doctor say
If he saw it all turn out this way?
Would his hearts break?
Would his hearts break?
[Outro]
So hold me tight
And say good bye
‘Cause all of this will end in five more nights
Coward, when it gets bad you turn and run
And though I thought so much of you, you let me down
Tell me, how are we meant to carry on
Is mine just one small fleeting life will you forget me when it’s gone
So ashamed of being human
They won’t stand and fight
They’re already broken
[Verse 2]
Save yourselves and when it’s done
When they’re questioned
It wasn’t us
[Chorus]
This, this is war
This, this is what we really are
So hold me tight
And say good bye
‘Cause all of this will end in five more nights
Coward, when it gets bad you turn and run
And though I thought so much of you, you let me down
Tell me, how are we meant to carry on
Is mine just one small fleeting life
Will you forget me when it’s gone?
[Verse 3]
I never thought you’d be that person
Who would be the one to watch us on a screen
Pray to God that it could be anybody but you
[Chorus]
‘Cause this, this is war
This, this is what we really are
So hold me tight
And say good bye
‘Cause all of this will end in five more nights
Coward, when it gets bad you turn and run
And though I thought so much of you, you let me down
Tell me, how are we meant to carry on
Is mine just one small fleeting life
Will you forget me when it’s gone?
[Bridge]
Is this everything you know?
Is this how far you would go?
Is this all we are?
Is this all we are?
And what would the doctor say
If he saw it all turn out this way?
Would his hearts break?
Would his hearts break?
[Outro]
So hold me tight
And say good bye
‘Cause all of this will end in five more nights
Coward, when it gets bad you turn and run
And though I thought so much of you, you let me down
Tell me, how are we meant to carry on
Is mine just one small fleeting life will you forget me when it’s gone
