Lyric Idea 1

When I was young I thought I had my own key

I knew exactly what I wanted to be

Lived in a bubble days were never ending

Was not concerned about what life was sending

Now my life has turned another corner

I think it's only best that I should warn you

I've never even seen the key to the door

We only get what we will settle for

Lyric Idea 2

Why be afraid if I'm not alone?

Though life is never easy, the rest is unknown

Starting again is part of the plan

And I'll be so much stronger holding your hand

Coming out of the dark

I finally see the light now and it's shining on me

Coming out of the dark

I know the love that saved me you're sharing with me

Lyric Idea 3

Sometimes I never leave but sometimes I would

Sometimes I stay too long, sometimes I would

Sometimes it frightens me, sometimes it would

Sometimes I'm all alone, and wish that I could

It happened one summer, it happened one time

It happened forever, for a short time

A place for a moment, an end to dream

Forever I loved you, forever it seemed

Lyric Idea 4

It's about as bad as it could be

Seems everybody's bugging' me

Like nothing wants to go my way

Yeah, it just ain't been my day

Nothing's coming easily

When everything is going wrong

Don't worry, it won't last for long

Yeah, it's all gonna come around

Don't go let it get you down

You gotta keep on holding on
