That coat that I gave you, All shiny and black I'm sorry my darling, But I'm taking it back I don't want to spoil the party, But I've got to go home You can stay if you want to If you want to sleep alone
Some were born to greatness, Some were born to die Never knowing the difference Never knowing why Some were born to change the world Some never even try But darling, you and I: We were born to cry
Black has become your favourite colour for all the things it can conceal, And as we're lying here together I know exactly how you feel It's time for me to leave this party, But I've just got to ask you first If you're only trying to make things better, How come they always turn out worse?
Some were born to greatness, Some were born to die Never knowing the difference Never knowing why Some were born to change the world Some never even try But darling, you and I: We were born to cry Oh some were born to greatness, And some were born to die Never knowing the difference Never knowing why Some were born to change the world Some never even try But darling, you and I: We were born to cry Yes darling you and I: we were born to cry. Born to cry.
