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
