[Verse 1]
Ah, ah, ah
"You can't bring me down," he said so confidently
She said, "Son, you aren't the best, here's the keys back to the streets"
He said, "Mum, I'm so cold"
She said, "Son, you better find your feet
Find somewhere else to sleep
'Cause I just don't want you here"
[Chorus]
I was 15, home is where I should've been
The street lights
My only friends are urgin' me
To hold on, hold on, hold on, on
[Verse 2]
'Cause you can't bring me down
Look at me now
I've got all the things you said that I would never have
And I've got more
Oh, now, look how I fly
Higher than you ever could
And you can't take credit for this
'Cause this was all me
And never you, never you
[Chorus]
I was 15, home is where I should've been
The street lights
My only friends are urgin' me
To hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, sit tight
Hold on, sit tight
[Bridge]
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
No one to kiss goodnight
No one to sing me to sleep
No one to tell me it's alright
Where'd you expect me to go?
Where did you expect me to live?
Did you ever really care?
Where'd you expect me to go?
Where'd you expect me to live?
Did you ever really care?
Did you ever really care?
Where did you expect me to go?
Where'd you expect me to go?
Where'd you expect me to go, oh, oh
[Chorus]
I was 15, home is where I should've been
The street lights
My only friends are urgin' me
To hold on, hold on, hold, hold on
Hold on, sit tight
Hold on, sit tight
Hold on, hold on, sit tight, yeah
Hold on, oh
[Outro]
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, yeah
Hold on, yeah
He, yeah
Hold on, sit tight
Hold on
Ah, ah, ah
