You followed your fathers steps
You took the time to learn your place
Collected all of your chips
Cashed them out and left this place
The bed that you grew up in
The path to school you were first kissed
All the spots you have been
The second chances you still missed
And off you go with your two hands
You can be great
You will be brave
Just know you're bound to fall apart
But pick up the pieces of
Your broken heart
Your mother tried her hardest
She broke her back to keep you strong
Gave birth on the carpet
While your father stared in shock
She raised you how she watched the
Families raised on her TV
Cause all that she wanted
Was you to be happy
And off you go with your two hands
You can be great
You will be brave
Just know you're bound to fall apart
But pick up the pieces of
Your broken heart
Now why am I so cold
Every time I celebrate
When you start to lose control
Don't hesitate
And take your fathers clothes
While your mom adorns your face
When you start to lose control
Remember your grace
And remember your friends
They'll be with you in the end
And remember the place
You used to go as a kid
When no-one was around
You laid your head on the ground
And thought of all the things
You'd be and they'd be proud
So off you go with your two hands
You can be great
You will be brave
Just know you're bound to fall apart
But pick up the pieces of
Your broken heart
So off you go with your two hands
You can be great
You will be brave
Just know you're bound to fall apart
But pick up the pieces of
Your broken heart
