[verse one]
goodbyes are never easy
goodbyes are rarely fair
and knowing one is coming
won’t help you run when it gets there
and now that pendulum moves ever in to slice those strings
no way of mending them
these ties unbind with every swing
all things must end
so don’t pretend you can fend of the sting
of when forever ends up she just like a wedding ring
some kids get through a dozen before their training wheels detach
so perhaps i’m the unlucky one
i had so long to feel attached
i’d be lying if i called you my first
but you were there through the best and the worst
i was too young then to remember the last one
too old now to forget how it hurts
that we’re running out of time
i hope it’s not out of line
many families would take you for granted
but to be you were always part of mine
yeah families can change
i’ve seen just how that plays
whilst we were dressing the wounds through the stress and the fumes
well i guess i -ssumed you’d always stay
but you weren’t mine to hold on to
and i know that to try would be wrong to
and now it’s time for goodbyes i’m inclined
to remind myself that it’s time to move on too
[chorus]
you keep my demons out
you keep my secrets in
you keep my demons out
you keep my secrets in
and if you leave me now
don’t know where i’d begin
you keep my demons out
you keep my secrets in
[verse 2]
i was lucky as a kid
i didn’t want for anything
i had support provided
there to guide me through the thick and thin
i had my family there whenever i was giving in
but that doesn’t change the fact that you were there through everything
good days
bad days
bad grades
straight as
first love
first dates
first base
birthdays
playdates
rehe-rs- plays
good times with good mates
first place
and l plates
worst case
and learning the hard way
goodbye
and last dates
through tears and fears
and heartbreak
you were there when i was racked with doubt
confused with my future
grief, coming out
others may say it’s stupid
but don’t you dare say it’s just a house
maybe that’s true
maybe to you
but a house to me is much more than a front door
and a bunch of rooms
you were the backdrop
to the canvas on which life would paint me
my foundations rest in yours
your floors and staircase raised me
as each new day would dawn
i’d praise it from your double glazing
and when kids would try to break me
you were my first idea of safety
you were at my first kiss
you heard all the pain it came to
you witnessed my last christmas
with my whole family in the same room
you’re the nights that i spent sleepless hoping mum would be alright
you’re the spot that i was standing
when i heard my grandad died
you’re the sp-ce i baked that cake to finally say that i forgave her
you’re the desk where i made my closest friend
the bed where i betrayed her
you’re the birthday meal i begged for that forever i’ll regret
you may wonder why i’d hold on
but i’d never choose forget
a house is more than doors and walls that keep you from the cold
perhaps you’ve never thought
but bricks and mortar are a mould
every value that i live by cast in curtain rails and chairs
now i’m losing it to strangers
try and tell me that it’s fair
sure, i fled the nest
i spread my wings
i caught the breeze and shone
i’ve made my way
i’ve travelled far across the seas beyond
but as i grew up amongst your leaves
i thought you’d be the one
how many bird’s migrations end to find their trees are gone?
[chorus]
you keep my demons out
you keep my secrets in
you keep my demons out
you keep my secrets in
and now you’re bleeding out
i just can’t keep it in
you keep my demons out
you keep my secrets in
[verse 3]
a door frame will keep you safe in an earthquake
and in days when i sway and my earth shakes
skies grey or a part of my heart breaks
i feel safe cus’ i can go back to my birthplace
they say that home is where the heart is
or at least where the biggest part is
but when it’s parted where do you go to stay?
with each part each end of a motorway?
captains spend their lives at sea yet they may never own a ship
like years of calling it my room don’t make it legal ownership
i know i’ve got no claim to stake
no stand to take
no bones to pick
forget the ship
don’t need a cannon to feel blown to bits
i’m known for fits
my emotions throw it all in like they’re poker chips
but if i keep them bottled up
there’s no way i’ll get over this
sure, maybe i’m overreacting
‘cus the fact is the act is impacting
me much less the direct effects
it’ll have that connects to the rest of my family
i won’t call them broken
things just changed, its not a tragedy
but call me sentimental, i just like to keep the packaging
all the pieces are still there
they’ve just been split and moved a lot
but in my mind i see the complete product
printed on the box
but now it’s someone else’s turn to make their memories in your halls
someone else’s turn to write their stories on your walls
and it’s my turn to accept the fact however much it hurts
that i can’t write my next chapter if i’m clinging to my first
someone else’s turn to call you home and it’s my turn to leave
and i hope that you’re as good to them as you were good to me
because i knew no matter where i was
however i was feeling
i would always have that piece of you
there with me on my key ring
