Lyrics

When you were sixteen you lost everything
Watched as they lived out your deepest fantasy
Left you behind, quietly seething
Swore to yourself, "One day that'll be me"
Locked yourself away in a cage
And you bled yourself out every day
It was killing you but you never strayed
Said you might die young but go out in a blaze
Small town boy with a pipe dream
And now you're almost thirty
And you hang your head in shame 'cause you
Cannot believe what your life has come to
You gave this everything you had
And now you're just a shell of a man
And I hope
That you fix what you broke
You said you're a joke
Need to fill that hole
You chase that white whale all your life
The only thing that you do right
You don't know how to stop the fight
You made yourself a sacrifice
You traded all your hope and joy
And now you're just a broken boy
When you met me you gave up on everything
All your faith in yourself and humanity
Down with the ship, slowly sinking
Tied to the mast for your final journey
When you met me it was like a breath of air
The cage was open and I was there
A life where you didn't have to suffer
Just be loved and be my lover
You felt like you were sixteen
Before you lost yourself to the dream
Got a glimpse of life with me
And that's enough for you to stop chasing
But now it's not a pipe dream
And it looks like it'll be reality
And you hang your head in shame 'cause you
Cannot believe that you're forced to choose
I gave this everything I had
But now you're just a boy in a band
And we came so close
Almost fixed what they broke
You said I'm your home
And I gave you hope
You've chased that white whale all your life
The first time ever it was out of sight
But when you saw it from the corner of your eye
You threw me over as a sacrifice
Tossed me aside like an opened toy
But I can't be mad at a broken boy
No I can't be mad at a broken boy
