Before You Were Born
by Toad the Wet Sprocket(full lyrics)

How can it happen
That every time
You ask us this question
The answer seems like a lie
You know what we're saying
And you know what we mean
And it's always sincere, God knows,
But it never gets through to where you need
Before you were born, someone kicked in the door
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born, someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here anymore
God damn the people who left you in pain
And god damn the father
Without face, without name
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
There's 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
Nothing is changing
And everything's wrong
But pain is the healing
And the tears sting like alcohol
Keep on the breathing; we'll help you down the long, long road back home
Before you were born, someone kicked in the door
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born, someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here anymore
Before you were born, someone kicked in the door
There's 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
We'll help you down the long road
Before you were born, someone kicked in the door
We'll help you down the long road
