The Days

I have lived with another's arms Pulling me up till I learnt to stand On my own two feet with my own ideas And my own believes 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 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 your 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 try to find the right words To 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 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 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 your 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 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 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
