When I was young the feeling of home crumbled away The house still stood but I couldn't let it stand in my way You take what you never had and you just stow it all in secret places Safe from a sour past the memories hit you all at once Let your wounds define you not hypnotize you You take what you never had and you just stow it all away When I was young learning what not to be What a child's eyes didn't need to see It molded me On the day the rain kept falling The Holy Ghost stopped calling Shake what has come and passed and throw it all away You take what you never had and you just stow it all in secret places Safe from a sour past the memories hit you all at once Let your wounds define you not hypnotize you You take what you never had and you just stow it all away When I was young I don't hold onto things that stung from when I was young You take what you never had and you just stow it all in secret places Safe from a sour past the memories hit you all at once Let your wounds define you not hypnotize you I won't hold onto anything that stung When I was young
