Born to Cry

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
