Skinned Knees

I can never live down
My skinned knees and meltdowns
What an inconvenient truth
That I was so inconvenient for you

I can never get back
those years with my head down
I only wanted to feel worth but
I never did

      So teach me how to breathe again
      And show me how to live again
      I just need to feel alive

      Tell me I'll be fine
      or was this all for nothing?
      I'm all out of my mind
      So was this all for nothing?

I remember feeling
that we needed healing
I know you felt it too
And I felt so sorry for you

I remember thinking
that our ship was sinking
And I only could save myself but
I never did

      So teach me how to breathe again
      And show me how to live again
      I just need to feel alive

      Tell me I'll be fine
      or was this all for nothing?
      I'm all out of my mind
      So was this all for nothing?

The sun doesn't shine anymore
and they say that it may never again.
But still we keep our eyes fixed on the sky.

If we hold onto hope then I know
that we can live on belief
that maybe we'll feel warmth before we die.

      So teach me how to breathe again
      And show me how to live again
      I just need to feel alive

      Tell me I'll be fine
      or was this all for nothing?
      I'm all out of my mind
      So was this all for nothing?
