for all of us closer to heaven version

Pet Shop Boys

There are people who think we lead
a fabulous life
One endless party
No pain or strife
If only they knew
the absolute truth

I hoped we had a future
the two of us together
Something shared between us
would change us both forever
He helped me recognise myself
and set me on a mission
to find there s more to life
than following ambition
After all that we ve been through
only tears can tell the truth

I m not crying just for you
I m crying for me
Look around and see
I m crying for all of us

For the impossibility
of love in a world where sex
is a cruel, competitive sport
For the love this world rejects

I mustn t be vindictive
we shouldn t feel ashamed
that no one tried to help him
so no one can be blamed
Go back to being fabulous
Ignore the pain inside
Find some compensation
for all the love denied
After all that we ve been through
only tears can tell the truth

I m not crying just for you
I m crying for me
Look around and see
I m crying for you, for me
for what we cannot be
for you and me
for all of us

For all of us
