Watch It Crash

Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear (whisper in my ear) Recanting all my aspirations and my fears And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared But it would linger on for years It said "We can’t just blame it on our mothers Claim everything they did was always wrong" And there ain’t not turning back when our train is off its track And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash) And there ain’t no right or wrong when we know it won’t be long And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash   (3x)       So mercy mercy mercy me Praying for the death of a man I’ll never meet Though everyone will know the truth they’ll still just make believe Mercy mercy me "We can’t just blame it on our mothers Claim everything they did was always wrong" And there ain’t not turning back when our train is off its track And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash (watch it crash) And there ain’t no right or wrong when we know it won’t be long And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash So mercy mercy mercy me Praying for the death of a man I’ll never meet Though everyone will know the truth they’ll still just make believe Mercy mercy me That’s all they came for that’s all they took That’s all we had to offer only dirty looks And when they realized we’d given all we could   that’s when they finally understood Mercy mercy mercy me Haunted by the memories of things we’ll never see Guilty for the statements that we’ll never get to speak Mercy mercy me We can’t quite blame it on our mothers Claim everything they did was always wrong" And there ain’t not turning back when our train is off its track And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash And there ain’t no right or wrong when we know it won’t be long And there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash Watch it crash and there’s nothing we can do but watch it crash...
