When we were young we were naive/ easy to please/
didn't question much 'bout love
Summers passed we got older, a little bolder,
I didn't fit your circle much
Your sick of hearing that it's/
I promise that it won't be long
It will get better, give it time/ but this won't change right on a dime
I know it feels like you're stuck here
When you got nowhere to run/ I'll be waiting until the stars
Shine bright for you
When you got nowhere to run/ I'll keep waiting until your colors
Shine right through
I know it's hard on you when/ you got nowhere to run
Your treading water it's too deep/ Just can't breathe/
Is it ever good enough
All these battles inside you/ They won't hide you/
Just confess I know you're tough
These sticks and stone won't take you down/
Just keep your head up 'round this town
You've got so many things to come/
Yeah you're not close or near to done
Your voice is loud/ Don't you give up/
I know it feels like you're stuck here
When you got nowhere to run/ I'll be waiting until the stars
Shine bright for you
When you got nowhere to run/ I'll keep waiting until your colors
Shine right through
I know it's hard on you when/ you got nowhere to run
I see your pictures and they're painted all in black and blue
I've heard the scripture/ It was written on the wall for you
I hear you screaming in the night when no one's listening
I'll be waiting until the stars shine bright for you
When you got nowhere to run/ I'll keep waiting until your colors shine through
When you got nowhere to run/ I'll be waiting until the stars
Shine bright for you
When you got nowhere to run/ I'll keep waiting until your colors
Shine right through
I know it's hard on you when/ you got nowhere to run
