Eight Letters

Eight Letters - Take That

We became the parade

On the streets

That we once cleaned

Expendable soldiers

Smiling at anything

Raised on a feeling

Our lives would have

Meaning eventually

We were once the answer

And then you discover

You're actually just

One thing after another

And what was the question

And why was the lesson

So deafening

This is all that

Matters now

And that was all

That happened anyhow

You can look back

But don't stare

Maybe I can love you

Out of there

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters

Three words one meaning

And outside forces

Didn't make it easy

So I thought I'd go

Before you leave me

Self-preservation was

No explanation for anything

But the truth is more than

We'll ever comprehend

I'm just starting to

Understand my friend

All of that distance

'Cause I fell in love

With the enemy

This is all that matters now

And that was all that

Happened anyhow

You can look back

But don't stare

Maybe I can love you

Out of there

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters

Three words one meaning

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters

Three words one meaning

At last

We meet on no man's land

Just footprints in the sand

We meet on no

Man's land at last

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters three

Words one meaning

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters

Three words one meaning

One meaning

Just one meaning
