When you were born you were not alone
 Nothing was carved into the stone
 Quiet [?] but don't forget
 You heard someone say it won't get better than this
 That was the sound of your father
 As he held you up to your mother
 No one will ever know 
 The love as pure as the one that you felt right then

 They held you up, they held you up
 And everybody else they fell to the wayside
 This is the stuff of beginning
 The prologue to the yarn that you're spinning
 million synonyms will [bad word] close to describe the feeling

 Don’t ever leave cause if you do dear
 I guarantee that you’ll regret
 The day you did
 And you’ll miss all the simple things
 And you’ll see everything you ever loved
 Start fading till there's nothing left but dust
 [bad word] 

 And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
 And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
 And I see the things that I pretend that I don't see
 And I store them in my head, love
 If only for memories

 So now you’re young and you feel alone
 Despite friends, family, and all the good things now surrounding you
 You can’t help thinking
 Oh there's gotta be some more to do
 When all the things that you cherish
 Turn into burdens and there is
 No other fantasy
 You know what you gotta do but you don’t know how

 They hold you back
 They hold you down
 And you’re gonna feel bad but you know that you gotta get out
 This is your pain your dilemma
 Will you stay in the town that they raised you
 Or will you sail away
 Pull the anchor and go in for the [?] one day 

 You have to leave
 Cause if you don’t dear
 You’ll never see the things you read about in books
 You saw the films and you were hooked
 But everything you want [bad word] to you
 And you realize now that you gotta go see this through
