If Only For Memories
Toh Kay Lyrics

When you were born you were not alone
You were born into a world full of love and potential.

Nothing was carved into the stone quite yet but don't forget
Your future is unwritten and full of possibility. Don't forget that.

You heard someone say, "It won't get better than this!"
In that moment, everything was perfect and you felt loved and safe.

That was the sound of your father
Your father was the source of that pure, perfect love.

As he held you up to your mother
Your parents' love for each other was just as strong as their love for you.

No one will ever know, a love as pure as the one that you felt right then
That moment of pure love and connection with your parents is one that you will always cherish and that no one else can truly understand.

They held you up, they held you up
Your parents were there for you, supporting you, from the very beginning.

And everybody else they fell to the wayside
In that moment, your parents were the whole world for you.

This is the start of the beginning
Your birth was the starting point of your own unique story and journey.

The prologue to the tale that you're spinning
Your life story is just beginning to unfold, with countless possibilities and potential endings.

A million synonyms will never come close to describe the feeling
The love and connection you felt in that moment is indescribable and unparalleled.

Don't ever leave, 'cause if you do dear, I guarantee that you'll regret the day you did
If you leave the people and things you love behind, you'll always regret it.

And you'll miss all the simple things
The little moments and experiences that make life beautiful and worthwhile will pass you by.

And you'll see everything you ever loved start fading 'till there's nothing left, oh oh
Without the people and things you love, life will seem dull and unfulfilling.

And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
Every challenge and difficulty you face has a purpose in shaping you into who you are meant to be.

And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
After overcoming obstacles, you will emerge stronger and better equipped to handle future challenges.

And I see the things that I pretend that I don't see
There are things in life that we try to ignore or avoid, but they still impact us in ways we can't always see.

And I keep them in my head love, if only for memories
Even if we can't fully process or understand certain experiences, we hold onto them as part of our life story.

So now you're young and you feel alone
As you grow older, you may become more aware of the loneliness and challenges of life.

Despite friends family and all the good things now surrounding you
Even with the support of loved ones and positive aspects of life, it can still feel overwhelming and isolating at times.

You can't help thinking, "Oh there's gotta be some more to do"
You may feel like there's a larger purpose or calling waiting for you in life, but you're not sure what it is or how to find it.

When all the things that you cherish
Even the things you hold most dear can sometimes become a burden or a source of stress and anxiety.

Turn into burdens then there is
When this happens, it can feel like there is no clear path forward or escape from the situation.

No other path to take, you know what you got to do but you don't know how
You may have a sense of what you need to do to find a way out, but figuring out the details and logistics can be a challenge.

They'll hold you back, they'll hold you down
People and circumstances can often keep us from pursuing our dreams and making changes in our lives.

And you kinda feel bad but you know that you gotta get out
Leaving behind the people and things you care about can be difficult, but sometimes it is necessary for growth and fulfillment.

This is your pain your dilemma
No one else can fully understand the pain and difficulty of the situation you are in.

Do you stay in the town where they raised ya
One of the options you may face is staying in the familiar and comfortable surroundings where you grew up.

Or will you sail away
Another option is venturing out into the unknown and taking risks in pursuit of something greater.

Pull the anchor and go heading for the come what may
To pursue your dreams and find fulfillment, you sometimes have to let go of the things weighing you down and embrace uncertainty and risk.

You have to leave
Sometimes leaving behind what's comfortable and familiar is necessary in order to pursue growth and happiness.

'Cause if you don't dear
If you stay stagnant and refuse to take risks, you'll never find the fulfillment you're seeking.

You'll never see the things you read about in books
You won't experience the adventure, growth, and fulfillment that comes from taking risks and pursuing dreams.

You saw the films and you were hooked
You have an idea of what fulfillment and adventure look like, but it's up to you to make it happen in your own life.

But everything you want won't come to you
You have to actively seek out and work towards the things you want in life, they won't just appear on their own.

You realize now that you gotta go see this through
You understand that pursuing your dreams and taking risks is the only way to find the fulfillment and adventure you seek.

So now you're all raised, on your own
You've grown up and are now independent, responsible for your own choices and destiny.

Two souls, to put yourself at home
You have found love and family, creating a home for yourself.

You finally settled down
After a journey of self-discovery and adventure, you have found stability and peace.

You've seen the world but your heart never left this town
Even after pursuing adventure and growth, you still have a deep love and connection to the place you call home.

They have the eyes of your mother
You see echoes of those you love and cherish in your own children.

The kind of crooked teeth of their father
You see the traits and characteristics of your loved ones reflected in your children, bringing you happiness and comfort.

No one will ever know, a love as pure as the love that you feel for them
The love you feel for your children is indescribable and unparalleled, a unique bond and connection.

You'll hold them up, you'll hold them up
You will be there to support and love your children, just as your own parents were there for you.

And everybody else should fall to the wayside
Your love and devotion to your family is the most important thing in your life, and other things pale in comparison.

There is no end no beginning
Family love is a constant, never-ending journey that lasts a lifetime.

On this merry-go-round we call living
Life is full of ups and downs, but the love of family brings a constant source of joy and comfort.

Someday you will return, every single ounce of the love you were given
One day, you'll be able to repay the love and support you received from your parents, by being there for your own children.

Someday they'll go
Your children will grow up and leave the nest, starting their own journey in life.

And when they leave home
When your children leave, it will be difficult but it's a necessary part of their growth and independence.

You will be grateful for the lesson that you learned
The love and experiences you shared with your children will always be treasured, teaching you important lessons about love, life, and family.

You had to travel half the world
Your journey to find love and family wasn't easy, but it was worth it.

To realize what you knew all along
You had to go through the ups and downs of life to fully understand the importance of love and family.

That everything will end up where it belongs
Despite the challenges and uncertainties of life, everything eventually falls into place, including the love and family you cherish.
