Breakdown

What is is, ain’t what it was
Like the first time I saw blood
Two hands in love and light
In two years I watched it die
I’m unsure what I have found
A momentary unknown
Oh but I’ve been thinking now
That you could be my home
You’re trembling in your skin
Resist the urge to run
Keep what you believe in
And remember where you’re from
This is not a breakdown
This is not forever
But you don’t know what you don’t know
Until you shoulda' known better
Now that I’ve been around
It’s not what I remember
But you don’t know what you don’t know
Until you shoulda' known better
You were careful, young, and free
Like your daddy said to be
Always swore you saw ghosts
Always dreaming of the coast
It’s not like doors are closing
But I’m not twenty two
So I just do the best that
The best that I can do
Strangers will come
And friends will go
Love will have a price to pay
I learned what they say is true
Gotta give it all away
