toh kay - if only for memories lyrics
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 of the beginning
the prologue to the tale 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
’till there’s nothing left, oh oh
and i believe that every broken bone is meant to be
and when it heals it will be stronger than it was
before
and i see the things that i pretend that i don’t see
and i keep them in my head love, if only for memories
so now you’re young and you feel alone
despite friends family and all the good things now
surrounding you
you can’t help thinking, “oh there’s gotta be some more
to do”
when all the things that you cherish
turn into burdens then there is
no other path to take, you know what you got to do but
you don’t know how
they’ll hold you back, they’ll hold you down
and you kinda feel bad but you know that you gotta get
out
this is your pain your dilemma
do you stay in the town where they raised ya
or will you sail away
pull the anchor and go heading for the come what may
you have to leave
’cause if you don’t dear
you’ll never see the things you read about in books
you saw the films and you were hooked
but everything you want won’t come to you
you realize now that you gotta go see this through
and i believe that every broken bone is meant to be
and when it heals it will be stronger than it was
before
and i see the things that i pretend that i don’t see
and i keep them in my head love, if only for memories
so now you’re all raised, on your own
two souls, to put yourself at home
you finally settled down
you’ve seen the world but your heart never left this
town
they have the eyes of your mother
the kind of crooked teeth of their father
no one will ever know, a love as pure as the love that
you feel for them
you’ll hold them up, you’ll hold them up
and everybody else should fall to the wayside
there is no end no beginning
on this merry-go-round we call living
someday you will return, every single ounce of the love
you were given
someday they’ll go
and when they leave home
you will be grateful for the lesson that you learned
you had to travel half the world
to realize what you knew all along
that everything will end up where it belongs
and i believe that every broken bone is meant to be
and when it heals it will be stronger than it was
before
and i see the things that i pretend that i don’t see
and i keep them in my head love, if only for memories
