lyrics

I'm afraid they've won.

To whom it may concern
I don't know,
we don't know
why we must play this tune

Are our songs too sweet?
Still you don't know what they mean
this is the warning to let you know why this is hunting me in my dreams

I feel our hearts compete
Don't you know,
I never want to play their game,
I want to let it go!
I feel how our hearts can't believe
so you need to know,
don't you know
this is why they've always won

How foolish to believe
that you are like me
Just step closer take a good look
tell me, why should we compete?
Some rivals might be fine,
but why are you in sight?
Don't you know
I won't go down that road

I feel our hearts compete
Don't you know,
I never want to play their game,
I want to let it go!
I feel how our hearts can't believe.
so you need to know,
don't you know that's why they've always won
they always have won

This is a game they play, they forced us in and we seem to play along, still no one can ever win. There is no prize to win!

I dream of solidarity to smash patriarchy!

So don't you know this is what they've always warned us about
Don't go - you should know this is what they've always warned us about
Don't go - you should let me know, if we can let it go.
Let it go!
