For All of Us (2017 Remaster)

For All of Us (2017 Remaster) - Pet Shop Boys

Written by：Chris Lowe/Neil Tennant

There are people who think I lead

A kind of charmed life

With everything I need

But no pain or strife

If only they knew

The absolute truth

The secrecy and lies

The bitter tears I've cried

The days when I can't hide

From hopelessness inside

The mad humiliation

Of knowing what you've done

In a sad infatuation

That went on far too long

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

For those who came between

I'm crying for all of us

For the lack of communication

Secrets shared no longer

For my weak intimidation

When I should have been much stronger

For the jealousy and shame

That you were someone's plaything

For that love that survived the pain

In spite of everything

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

For this whole wretched scene

I'm crying for all of us

For the impossibility

Of love in world where sex

Is a cruel competitive sport

For the love that sex rejects

For the ripples spreading wider

For the friendships destroyed

By suspicions and fighting

And the cover-ups employed

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

For those who came between

I'm crying for you

For me

For what might have been

For you

And me

Baby for all of us

For all of us
