Fortunes Of Misfortune Lyrics

We were just girls 

When we looked into each other's eyes 

We owned the world 

We didn't know we'd have to die for it 

You knew I'd have to quit 

And I knew I'd never see you again 



We were just girls 

When we kissed each other's lips 

We didn't know that it meant something 

More to me and to you 

You had to go when I told you no 

And I knew I'd never see you again 



We were not friends 

It was different than that 

We had a love 'til the end 

That was beautiful and dying 

Who could have told? 

The fortunes of the misfortunes we would hold? 

And I never thought that we would grow old together 



You wanted to be beautiful 

You thought you were a star 

And now that everything has disappeared 

You are who you are 



We were just girls 

And we never understood 

That this is the world 

Where things are rarely rarely good 

And I knew you'd have to go 

The moment that I told you no 

And I knew I'd never see you again 

I'd never see you again, ever again 



You wanted to be a big big star 

Now you are who you are 

You wanted to be a big big star 

Now you are who you are 

You wanted to be a big big star 

Now you are who you are 

You wanted to be a big big star 

Now you are who you are
