Venha Minha Nossa Senhora

Everybody knows by now, it’s no secret anymore.
It won’t matter anyhow; they all know the score
The final count is in, you did not win, don’t cry, neither did I.
Just count the cost, we both lost, but we tried.

Everybody seemed surprised, thought we were a sure thing.
No one grabbed the ring – the prize – and what’s most surprising
Is how there were no tears; it just appears that we ceased to be,
And just like that – it fell flat -  we tried.

To be everything to everybody and not enough to one another.
We were walking thru the motions; saw no reason left to bother.
Passion soon gave way to another cheap cliché, 
And it doesn’t work that way, never has.
No one can please everybody, only fools will even try.
Giving in to everybody leaves nothing else except the lies.
When you speak to everybody, tell ‘em we’re not trying anymore.

Every time you play with matches, someone gets burned in the flame.
Every time you take from one hand, someone loses, someone gains.
Is it fair that you and I were spared?  Unprepared to decide – but we tried.        

To be everything to everybody and not enough to one another.
We were walking thru the motions; saw no reason left to bother.
Passion soon gave way to another cheap cliché, 
And it doesn’t work that way, never has.
No one can please everybody, only fools will even try.
Giving in to everybody leaves nothing else except the lies.
When you speak to everybody, tell ‘em we’re not trying anymore.
