When you were born, you were not alone
Nothing was carved into the stones
Well, yeah, 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 a 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 start, a beginning
A prologue to the yarn that you're spinning
One million synonyms will never come
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
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
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 his wife
Friends, family and all the good things now surrounding you
You can't helping thinking, oh
There's gotta be some more to do
When all the things that you cherished turn
Into burdens and there is no other path to take
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: do you stay in the town where
They raised ya? or will you sail away?
Pull the anchor and go in it for what come what may
You have to leave, cause if you don't, dear
You'll never see the things that you read about in books
You saw the films and you were hooked
But everything you want will come to you
You realize now that you gotta come see this through
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
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
I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
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
