The Toughest Kids
Adept Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The ground beneath your feet
Will fucking cave in.
Stand up and speak.
This is the consequence of being weak.
I’ve spent so many years blaming myself.
For how you ran away
And left me growing up alone.
I was just a kid. And I was all alone.

I never felt like I had a place to call home.

Have you ever lost faith in yourself
For only a blink of an eye?
We sing this song for families
Who stand strong.

When the weight of the world caves in.
The strongest one will win.
We sing this song for every loving heart.

I am ashamed of what you have become.
How could you lower yourself like this.
You had people around
Who cared about you deeply.

I know the person that you really are.
I’ve seen the love that you carry around.
I miss your comforting words.
Your heart could move a mountain.

Have you ever lost faith in yourself
For only a blink of an eye?
We sing this song for families
Who stand strong.

When the weight of the world caves in.
The strongest one will win.
We sing this song for every loving heart.

And as seasons change
And as time will drift away.
I will remember you.
My heart will stay the same.

This is the sound of forgiveness.
But I know you’ll never hear this song alive.
This is the sound of forgiveness.
But you will never hear this song alive.





I will carry your absence with me
Until the day I die.

Lyrics:
The ground beneath your feet will fucking cave in!
Stand up and flee
This is the consequence of being away
I spent so many years blaming myself
For when you ran away
And left me growing up alone
I was just a kid, and I was all alone
I never felt like I had a place to call home
Have you ever lost faith in yourself
For only a blink of an eye
We sing this song
For families who stand strong
When the weight of the world caves in
The strongest one will win
We sing this song
For every loving heart
Go back to home
I am
I am the shell of what you have become
How could you all hurt yourself like this
You have people around, caring about you deathly
I know the person that you really are
I've seen the love that you carry around
I miss your trustworthy words
Your eyes could move a mountain
Have you ever lost faith in yourself
For only a blink of an eye
We sing this song
For families who stand strong
When the weight of the world caves in
The strongest one will win
We sing this song
For every loving heart
And as seasons change,
When this time will drift away
I will remember you
My mind will stay the same
Wooo-oo-oh-oh
This is the sound of forgiveness
But I know you'll never hear this song alive
Wooo-oo-oh-oh
This is the sound of forgiveness
But I know you'll never hear this song alive
I will carry your absence with me
Until the day I die
