I have lived with another's arms
Pulling me up till I learnt to stand
On my own two feet
With my own ideals
And my own beliefs
Hearts are broken
Nations fall
Youth's bright burn
Time eats it all
But still it starts
Back up again
It never ends
Look at me now I'm here before you
I've finally found the guts to start
With nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
And everything to prove
But it takes all you've got, all you're made of
And you learn that a soul has got to change
So you throw all you cards out the window
And carry on making it up on the way
From the wound you forget by tomorrow
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
These are the days and you're living them your way
Every time I tried to find the right words
Describe the mess make the sentence heard
I'd hit another wall
Such a narrow mind
Down we fall
Sure it's a rish to take it this far
But how else do you know what the limits are
What the dark feels like
I know the crowd holds court
But they're not always right
Look at me now I'm here before you
I've finally found the guts to start
With nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
And everything to prove
But it takes all you've got, all you're made of
And you learn that a soul has got to change
So you throw all you cards out the window
And carry on making it up on the way
From the wound you forget by tomorrow
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
These are the days and you're living them your way
Lights on
It's clearer now
I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't change a thing
But it takes all you've got, all you're made of
And you learn that a soul has got to change
So you throw all you cards out the window
And carry on making it up on the way
From the wound you forget by tomorrow
To the countless doubts, the highs, the blame
Till you learn how to love and to be loved
These are the days and you're living them your way
