Why do we all
Gather to mourn yet
Not to cherish
There was no shield
Or a weapon that
Could defeat this
There are no words
Or a comfort that
Would complete us
We've learned nothing
In our distance

We were never the same
We were never the same
We were never the same

The cost was the ones we let fall
For us to live another day
Our price was the innocence gone
When we chose to not look away

Why do we all

We were never the same
We were never the same

When we chose to not look away
When we chose to not look away

We were never the same
We were never the same
We were never the same
Same, same
