Amends

V1:

Twelve years old in a hospital bed

Not just my world sliced in two

Got all the attention

World was a mess

But I wasn't the one on my mind

With time flying by

Were they getting left behind?

Guess I've always been number two in my head

Chorus:

Tend to put everyone else first

Bend over backwards to keep their life smooth

Ignore the cracks in the reflection

Stay focused on the objective

Just gotta keep my cool

Keep looking steady

Can't be the troubled one

Keep marching forward

Not sure who's giving the order

That's how you make amends

When no one's asked for it

Oooooh-ooooooh, oooooh

V2:

Twenty years old, listening

Do I even talk anymore

Keeping my thoughts to myself

The one with the strongest mind

How it should look from the outside

When others would crumble

Not even a stumble

On the surface, glistening

Chorus:

Tend to put everyone else first

Bend over backwards to keep their life smooth

Ignore the cracks in the reflection

Stay focused on the objective

Just gotta keep my cool

Keep looking steady

Can't be the troubled one

Keep marching forward

Not sure who's giving the order

That's how you make amends

When no one's asked for it

Oooooh-ooooooh, oooooh

Bridge:

The weight on my head

Built from my own dread

Keep marching forward

Who's giving the order?

Making amends

When nobody asked for it 

Chorus:

Tend to put everyone else first

Bend over backwards to keep their life smooth

Ignore the cracks in the reflection

Stay focused on the objective

Just gotta keep my cool

Keep looking steady

Can't be the troubled one

Keep marching forward

Not sure who's giving the order

That's how you make amends

When no one's asked for it

Oooooh-ooooooh, oooooh
