The sun came up 
And the world turned 'round 
But I saw right through it 
It will go back down

Hope and ruin 
You were the best 
Now you're through and 
You're on to the next 

So you're leaving now 
Have you done enough 
Will they hold you to it 
Will you rise above 

I will get through 

Hope and ruin 
Gone too soon 
Hope and ruin 
Me and you 
Hope and ruin 
Gone too soon 
Hope and ruin 
Me and you 
Hope and ruin 
Gone too soon 
Hope and ruin 
Me and you
