I watched you grow into the person you are today
You would stumble and fall, but never lost your way
I was as proud of you as you are of me
I think it's time we tell the world our story

Heartbreak with every word you say
Choose your fate with every move you make
It's your way now, to find out how to love yourself

All your walls are breaking down
This city's burning all around
Your hearts still beating for the sound
Of a long lost love, but you still hang on

You walk into another town
Suspicious faces all around
Echoing and screaming out your name

Ask yourself "is this too much?"
Could you walk away when you've had enough?
Or let him break your heart at such a young age

So just hang on, you'll wanna see how this story ends
Cause you are the only one who can make it better
And you'll never know if you don't try
All these things you'll find will make you feel alive

Lost faith for a little while
Not afraid to speak my mind
When it comes to matters of the heart and soul
Just let it go

You perceived happiness as
Decades worth of wedded bliss
Never thought that you alone was all you'd need

But you deny the other side
Until the moment when you finally see

So just hang on, you'll wanna see how this story ends
Cause you are the only one who can make it better
And you'll never know if you don't try
All these things you'll find will make you feel alive

Sentimental moments lead to memories lost in time
Weathered skylines haunted by my agitated mind
In moments of panic and fear you'd remind yourself
That you'll be okay
I know you could do it, get through it, you've done it
You've made it out alive

And then there's moments where you think 'bout coming home
But then you'd wonder 'bout how far you could have gone
Just know that no matter the miles apart
We're always together at heart

Hang on, you'll wanna see how this story ends
Cause you are the only one who can write it out
