Verse 1

Looking at the landscape
Of this broken life
Triage to decipher
If anything survived
The blast had quite an impact
Radius for miles
From the southern coast of Florida
To the hills of Carolina

Pre Chorus

And everything has changed

Verse 2

‘Cause when you’re just a kid
Words can take a toll
A word unfitly spoken
Can steal an apple’s gold
Stranded in the fallout
Wounded and alone
This is an emergency
Is anybody home

Pre Chorus

And everything has changed

Chorus 1

Is this what growing up’s
Supposed to look like
Thought I’d be learning
How to love
Instead I’ve only learned to fight
I was only trying
To walk beside You
I guess I just got in the way

Verse 3

Sometimes all you need
Is the medicine of time
To lead you to the gold beneath
The wreckage of your mind
‘Cause I was not Your failure
And You were never mine
And we were made to see through
Much more sympathetic eyes

Pre Chorus

But everything has changed

Chorus 1

Is this what growing up’s
Supposed to look like
Thought I’d be learning
How to love
Instead I’ve only learned to fight
I was only trying
To walk beside You
I guess my pride got in the way

Chorus 2

But if I ever caused You pain
Could I be the first to say
I’m sorry

Bridge

I won’t give up on you
If you don’t want me to
I won’t give up on you
Did you expect me to

Bridge

I can’t give up on you
Even if you want me to
I won’t give up on you
I don’t know what I’d do

Pre Chorus

But everything has changed
