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
Yeah! I'm unbroken
Yeah! I'm unbroken
I'm alive
And I'm unbroken
