Well the build-up seemed so easy
We thought nothing could go wrong
But nothing in this life prepared me
To watch you fighting to hold on
And you put so much in for nothing in return
And to see you going through this
Was the hardest thing I've done
To feel so powerless to help you
Once your mind was too far gone
And you were putting so much in for nothing in return
Until they set you free
And now that we've come out the other side
We're strangers in a town we recognise
And we're taking our first cautious steps outside
Whoa, to find out why
The ones we love the most we hurt the most
And the ones we hurt the most we give the most
And the ones that take the most we need the most
Whoa, and the ones we need the most we build our hopes upon
We build our hopes upon
And you were putting so much in, so much in
And you were putting so much in for nothing in return
