gave him at the end of the line\r\nIt took twenty years to assemble this beast \r\nand it all fell apart in two quick weeks\r\nUnderneath all the scars on his face and his mind \r\nwas a brand new boy with stars in his eyes\r\nAnd he exploded on the scene like a geek\r\nAnd he fit right in with all the rest of the freaks\r\nAnd he had a lot to learn about the world out there\r\nAfter spending so long in his gloomy lair\r\nAnd he made up worlds in his mind\r\nBut he didn't need them now so he left them behind\r\nAnd for the first time in a long time \r\nhe was glad to be breathing and his new face could smile\r\n\"Please don't take this skin away\", he cried\r\n\"I'll pay any price I have to pay\", he cried\r\n\"It's great to have this chance to fail\", he said\r\n\"I never knew there was life for sale, you saved me, you made me again\r\nOh what an awful secret these scientists kept\"\r\nNow he's livin' and lovin' and makin' new friends\r\nAnd he won't take for granted what everybody has\r\nAnd in his chest he found a heart that had never ever ever been used\r\nHe dug it up and cleaned it off and found out it was as good as new\r\nThe spark had grown into a flame\r\nAnd it burned anybody that got in its way\r\nAnd he took out a few bridges too, but everything burns bright when it's new\r\nAnd once a monster and now he's a prince, \r\nor at least that's how he felt when he got his first kiss\r\nAnd he learned how to walk and he changed the way he talked, \r\nand he started catching up on everything that he missed\r\nAnd he tried to be invisible for so long, now it was strange to be seen\r\nAnd instead of all the villagers form in a mob \r\nthey threw down their swords and treated him like a king\r\n\"I never knew it could get this good\", he cried\r\n\"You'd never believe how bad it was\", he cried\r\n\"Please don't take this skin away\", he said\r\n\"I never wanna go back where I came from, you saved me, you made me at last\r\nAll my dungeons and demons are left in my past\"\r\nOnce he sat in his sadness as days slowly drag\r\nNow he burns with excitement and time moves so fast\r\nAnd there's a song that he will sing\r\nWhen he needs to remember how things have changed\r\nHe sings, \"It ain't so bad, it ain't so bad, it ain't so bad anymore\r\nSo don't you cry, so don't you cry, don't you cry anymore\r\nNo don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you
