What You're Made Of Lyrics

Verse 1
They won't be your friend, cause they see you so much differently
And that hurts to say, I know pain that you feel everyday
And it's hard to say, that life from here gets much easier
So don't fuel their doubts, you'll shine bright enough to burn the place
Could I take the adolescent me
And show him the man at 23
Cause that boy from then is still inside
I'd tell him today

Chorus
Spend your days back early in the Summer
Leaving behind the world you've come to know
You know the best days to remember
Are the ones still yet to come
Don't forget what you've learned here so far
That words are weak and nobody else will say what you'll become
You'll let go of the days that you spent
Pretending you don't exist

Verse 2
Is it my turn now to show him there is another way
To say when and how, and be confident we're all the same
If I knew back would my life today still be the same?
It's not where you've been, it's the day you learn to breathe again
For my friends who said that I could be I'll give all my days so thankfully
I won't waste my time collecting dreams
I'll give them away

Chorus
Spend your days back early in the Summer
Leaving behind the world you've come to know
You know the best things to remember
Are the ones still yet to come
Don't forget what you've learned here so far
That words are weak and nobody else will care what you become
You'll let go of the days that you spent
Pretending you don't exist

Bridge

Lift up your head listen to me
The best years ahead of you aren't just a dream
Dry up your tears, let go of those fears
One day you'll grow up to be just like me

Chorus
Spend your days back early in the Summer
Leaving behind the world you've come to know
You know the best days to remember
Are the ones still yet to come
Don't forget what you've learned here so far
That Mom was right and you'll write the words to the story of your life
You'll let go of the days that you spent
Pretending you don't exist
