Eight Letters Lyrics - Take The Crown - Robbie Williams

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 

Photos 

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
