Let Jack Die

They say that loneliness becomes a lover

And solitude becomes a darling sin

If there's nothing left on earth to be discovered

Then darling, why not cash it all in?

They said that you won't recognize your daughter

And I'm half-mad, you can see it in the eye

And poems don't become perfect, if you're listening you can tell

But what becomes of you and I?

They told me it gets better once you're older

But comfort, it don't come from time or space

And they said you only live twice, once when you are born,

And once when you look death in the face

In case we do not make it, you must live on

At least you'll tell the world of how we tried

But once the grass is overgrown,

And cities become ruins of stone...

What becomes of you and I,

What becomes of you and I,

What becomes of you and I,

If we let Jack die?

They tell me there is more out there to learn from,

That roads are strange and people pass you by

But I don't know if I could cope, if I gave you false hope

And sent you out there to die

They say this is a world without heroes

Though I watched you stand alone and do what's right

And as you stand there with your gun, silhouette against the sun,

I wonder...

What becomes of you and I,

What becomes of you and I,

What becomes of you and I,

If we let Jack die?

What becomes of you and I,

(I don't wanna think about it)

What becomes of you and I,

(Could we ever live without it)

What becomes of you and I,

(I think maybe it's time that we)

When we let Jack die?
