If Only for Memories - Streetlight Manifesto

When you were born you were not alone

Nothing was carved into the stone quite yet

But don’t forget you heard someone say it won’t get better than this

That was the sound of your father

As he held you up to your mother

No one will ever know a love as pure as the one that you felt right then

They held you up

They held you up

And everybody else they fell to the wayside

This is the start;

the beginning

A prologue to the yarn that you’re spinning

A million synonyms

Will never come close to describe the feeling

Don’t ever leave

Cause if you do, dear

I guarantee that you’ll regret the day you did

And you’ll miss all the simple things

And you’ll see everything you ever loved

Start fading til' there’s nothing left but dust

And I believe

That every broken bone is meant to be

And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
