Lyrics If Only for Memories - Streetlight Manifesto

If Only for Memories

When you were born you were not alone
Nothing was carved into the stone quite yet
But don’t forget you heard someone say it won’t get better than this
That was the sound of your father
As he held you up to your mother
No one will ever know a love as pure as the one that you felt right then
They held you up
They held you up
And everybody else they fell to the wayside
This is the start;
the beginning
A prologue to the yarn that you’re spinning
A million synonyms
Will never come close to describe the feeling
Don’t ever leave
Cause if you do, dear
I guarantee that you’ll regret the day you did
And you’ll miss all the simple things
And you’ll see everything you ever loved
Start fading til' there’s nothing left but dust
And I believe
That every broken bone is meant to be
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
