Before You Were Born Lyrics

Toad The Wet Sprocket

How can it happen that every time
You ask us this question the answer seems like a lie
You know what were saying and you know what it means
And its always sincere God knows
But it never gets through to where you need
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
Theres no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here, stay back where you belong
God damn the people who left you in pain
God damn the father without face, without name
And God damn the lovers who never showed up
And God damn the wounds that show how deep a word can cut
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
Theres no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here, stay back where you belong
And how can it happen now that you know the cause
That nothing is changing and everythings wrong
But pain is the healing and the tears sting like alcohol
Just keep on there breathing
Well bring you down the long, long road back home
