Troubled youth, got the blues
Take a walk in those shoes and see how they fit for awhile
I can bend, it's all pretend
It's just fake until you mean it
and one day you'll mean it for real

Here's to new beginnings and starting over
When you hope all's forgiven, it's best not to ask for awhile
I believe some can see how to strike
when it's red hot and crumble the castle walls

If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong
You speak like a man who believes
he's got no destiny, he's content
A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough to take me out

I told you we'd see it through
You don't believe and that's the part that kills me
I will build you up until you're big enough to pick me up

If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong
You speak like a man who believes
he's got no destiny, he's content
A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough to take me out
