A Bigger Meaning lyrics

-And this brings us up to date, the reason why Im here.
Well, its not long after we moved, just about three months.
We found out we were going to have a baby.
Unfortunately, not by choice, it just happened.
And now I have no idea what to do.
We dont have any money.
We dont have much space.
Were eighteen and on our own, you know?
I came out here to get away.
Have a fresh start.
This makes it hard.
You havent said anything in awhile.
Youre not even listening.

Yes I am.
Go ahead tell me more.
Oh yes, I love to hear every word you say,
So let it out; dont let it stay.
'Cause thats what kills and thats what hurts.
When youre stuck inside and you cant get out.
But heres whats worse, when you have to lie,
'Cause youre stuck inside this shallow mind,
That wont see himself for what he is.
The truth behind what he gives to the world,
And himself, and what he thinks he is.
You cant hurt anyone, 'cause you only give.
Oh, thats you.

-Thats not me,
And I never said it was.
I bet youre saying this because you probably did the same thing.
Didn't you?

-Oddly enough, Im on my way

Now see its natural to assume the worst,
When youre raised to only trust yourself.
But I must agree.
You should know that you have been quite wrong.
Your dad is right, its not his fault.
You only see what you need to see,
To feel worse for your sorry life.
Not to fix it, but to only hide,
Behind walls you put up.
So continue feeling bad for yourself.
Its not your fault its everyone elses.
Theres one thing you failed to see.
Youre a man, youre your fathers son.
You both decided it was best to run.
And now youre stuck,
Being him.
So forget the plans you had for life.
Its time to learn, its time for people to try,
To look at things, for what they are,
And not the best story line.
The best story line.
The best story line.
The best story line.
The best story line.
The best story line...

-Hi, my name is Dean.
I grew up in a small suburb town, about forty miles from the city.
Its a quiet place, but the people there have the biggest mouths.
Its the kind of place where people care more about your stories,
Than who you actually are.
I guess that kind of makes sense now when I look at myself.
