Song Lyrics

How can you leave me standing
Alone in a world that is so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Yes, they cry
Oh, they cry

How could you leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry, yeah, yeah

This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like
This is what it sounds like

Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat, the heat between me and you

Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe)
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry, yeah, yeah

Doves cry

A plague on both your houses

You know that they cry
You know that they cry
You know that they cry (Romeo is finished)
You know that they cry
You know that they cry

How could you leave me standing (you know that they cry)
Alone in a world that's so cold? (You know that they cry)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (you know that they cry)
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold (you know that they cry)
Maybe I'm just like my mother (you know that they cry)
She's never satisfied (you know that they cry)
Why do we scream at each other? (You know that they cry)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
