That coat

that I gave you

All shiny and black

I'm sorry my darling

But I'm taking it back

I don't want

to spoil the party

But I've got to go home

You can stay if you want to

If you want to sleep alone

Some are born

to greatness

Some are born to die

Never knowing

the difference

Never knowing why

Some are born

to change the world

Some never even try

But darling you and I

We were born to cry

Black has become

your favourite colour

For all the things

it can conceal

And as we lie here together

I know exactly how you feel

It's time for me

to leave this party

But I've just got

to ask you first

If you're only trying

to make things better

How come they always

turn out worse

Some are born

to greatness

Some are born to die

Never knowing

the difference

Never knowing why

Some are born

to change the world

Some never even try

But darling you and I

We were born to cry

Some are born

to greatness

Some are born to die

Never knowing

the difference

Never knowing why

Some are born

to change the world

Some never even try

But darling you and I

We were born to cry

Born to cry...
