[Verse 1]
What a shame to be born
Suspended in my mother
A tiny naked guest
The blood we shared was warm
From one heart to another
A chest inside a chest
My first platonic lover
The eagle in my nest

[Chorus]
It’s so hard being alive
No wonder everybody dies
And it’s such a shame just getting by
But everything will be alright

[Post-Chorus]
In the end

[Verse 2]
Please don’t tell the boys
I hope I have a daughter
And if I had the choice

[Pre-Chorus]
She’d look just like her mother
A tiny vision of her
A love to keep my world going ’round

[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s so hard being alive
No wonder everybody dies
Oh, it’s such a shame just getting by
But everything will be alright
In the end
No, it’s so hard being alive
With no one by your side

It’s such a shame we live and die
But everything will be alright

[Post-Chorus]
In the end, oh, in the end
I know I’ll be alright
In the end, oh, in the end
I know I’ll be alright
In the end
