I have lived with another's arms
Pulling me up till I learned to stand
On my own two feet, with my own ideas
And my own beliefs
Hearts are broken, nations fall
Youth's bright burn, time eats at all
But still it starts back up again,
It never ends
Bridge:
Look at me now, I'm here before you
I finally found the guts to start with nothing to lose
Nothing to hide and everything to prove
Chorus:
When it takes all you've got, what you're made of
And you learn that the soul has got to change
So you throw all your cards out the window
And carry on, making it up on the way
From the rule you forget by tomorrow
To the countless doubts, the heights, 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 try 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 risk 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
Bridge
Chorus
Lights on, it's clearer now
I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't change a thing
