| Mother, I’m still the boy you raised
|
| I learn from my mistakes, and do better
|
| And father, I’ll never be half the man
|
| But I’m trying the best I can
|
| To keep us all together
|
| Rather be damned than have to go through life alone
|
| Yeah, I just wanted you to know that you are the ones
|
| Rather be damned than have to make it on my own
|
| Yeah, I just want you all to know that you are the ones
|
| Sister, we don’t talk that much
|
| But when you grow up, I’ll be there forever
|
| And brother, they say that you’re a lot like me
|
| Well that’s not what you want to be
|
| Cause you can do so much better
|
| Rather be damned than have to go through life alone
|
| Yeah, I just wanted you to know that you are the ones
|
| Rather be damned than have to make it on my own
|
| Yeah, I just want you all to know that you are the ones
|
| You are the drug that keeps me sane
|
| You are the smile that I can’t fake
|
| You are the ones, you are the ones
|
| You are the high when I am low
|
| You are the hours on the phone
|
| You are the ones, you are the ones
|
| You are the sharp end of my pen
|
| You are the ink under my skin;
|
| You are the ones, you are the ones |
