What About Us

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?

We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willing, we came when you called
But many fooled us, enough is enough

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?

Sticks and stones they may break these bones
But then I'll be ready, are you ready?
It's the start of us, waking up, come on
Are you ready? I'll be ready
I don't want control, I want to let go
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
'Cause now it's time to let them know

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
(Are you ready? Are you ready?)
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?

What about love?
What about trust?
What about us?
