Out on the margins of town
I've been stuck hanging 'round
These amateur clowns
Wondering where were you
The only song we knew
Was our amateur blues
If you believed, why'd you leave me?
If you believed, why'd you leave me?
Even after our sticks and stones were spoken
I'm alive
I'm alive
And I'm unbroken
I'm unbroken
I've been abused and misled
I've been stuck in my head
Unsung and unsaid
Been on needles and thread
I've been left for dead
But I'm living instead
If you believed, why'd you leave me?
If you believed, why'd you leave me?
Even after our sticks and stones were spoken
I'm alive
I'm alive
And I'm unbroken
I'm unbroken
Give me a song to sing
Something to balance out
The fits and starts that life can bring
I'm waiting
Give me a song to sing
A decent melody
'Cause I'm alone and I'm nineteen
And I feel like the world is trying to swallow me whole
Like it's trying to swallow me whole, yeah!
If you believed, why'd you leave me?
If you believed, why'd you leave me?
Even after our sticks and stones were spoken
I'm alive
I'm alive
And I'm unbroken
(If you believed, why'd you leave me?) Yeah I'm unbroken
(If you believed, why'd you leave me?) Yeah I'm unbroken
(Even after our sticks and stones were spoken) I'm alive
And I'm unbroken
