I don’t know what you’ve been told
Every time I ask you always turn to go
Why you’re standing in the cold
I don’t know what you’ve been told

I don’t know what hurt the most
When you were left alone or held far too close
Now you’re hiding in your hole
From everyone you know
I don’t know what you’ve been told

So throw your ghosts away
They’re not real anyway
Keep your head held strong and low
And when you feel you’re breaking
It’s just your past unmaking
You’re perfect, you are whole
I don’t know what you’ve been told

When you were on your mother’s knee
She couldn’t see beyond her suffering you see
And you were more than she could hold
And we don’t know what she was told

Now only you can know
But have you ever thought of simply letting go
Of the lies that you’ve been sold
The dreams you cannot hold
And the story you’ve been told

So throw your ghosts away
They’re not real anyway
Keep your head held strong and low
And when you feel you’re breaking
It’s just your past unmaking
You’re perfect, you are whole
I don’t know what you’ve been told

I don’t know what you can see
Everything you are looks beautiful to me
I see your heart, I see your soul
And that’s all I need to know

Don’t let it weigh you down
There’s nothing to be found
In the story you’ve been told
