My mother is lonely,
My father left early yesterday.
My sister is tired,
Her lover's a liar.
And I, I am like my mother,
But I'm like my father, too.
And I, I'll take their answers,
Paint them as something new.
My mother is lonely,
My father speaks only to himself.
My sister's in danger,
Her lover's a stranger.
And I, I'm like my mother,
But I'm like my father too.
And I, I'll build you castles,
Then I'll knock them through.
What are we without our chains?
I will carry on this name.
What are we without our chains?
You and I are just the same.
And I, I'm like my mother,
But I'm like my father.
And I, I'll build you castles,
Then I'll knock them through
My mother is lonely,
My father left early yesterday.
