Not the Child

We're not the lovers we said we were
I'm not the child either
In other words, I'm better off
I'm better off

Don't write the letter you said you would
Don't walk the extra mile either
Don't bother her, she's better off
She's better off

This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do

We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child

The shift, the change:
Oh why, oh when,
Oh where?

The shift, the change:
Oh why, oh when,
Oh where?
Don't tell me about the wind

This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothing else they can do
We're not the child

Don't write the letter you said you would
Don't walk the extra mile either
Don't bother her
She's better off

Don't write the letter you said you would
Don't walk the extra mile either
Don't bother her
She's better off

This is in black and white
There is nothin' else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothin' else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothin' else they can do
We're not the child
We're not the child
This is in black and white
There is nothin' else they can do
We're not the child
