South By Southview Songtext

Tell me who stole your childhood away.

tell me, I'll make them pay.
but I'm afraid I know what you'll say.
was it when he left,
or was it when I failed?
I know now that nothing
could ever take his place,
but back then I was your age
and I thought I could save the day.

I'm sorry, I thought I could be enough.
I just wanted to make a difference in your life.

I see all that jade in your eyes
and since he left, you've burned inside.
I miss that resilient kid
that once filled my brother's shoes.
keep your chin up kid,
cause look what we've made it through.
and no matter how far you push us,
I won't give up on you.

I'm sorry, I thought I could be enough.
I just wanted to make a difference in your life.

don't ever think
there was one fucking day
that I didn't try.

keep your chin up kid,
we're gonna make it through.
keep your chin up kid,
we've gotta make it through.

I see that hole in your life
and it's killing me inside
cause I tried so hard to take
that bullet for you
