Everyone is an author with something to say
Everyone’s got a picture to paint
My story will turn gold, or so I’ve been told
It’s got bestseller written all over it

All the pain you’ve been through will be the making of you
All the pain you’ve been through, will be the making

Nobody knows the trouble you’ve seen
Nobody really comes close
But you’re over it now, you can boast
Each page printed is honest truth
Troubles when they plagiarise you
Shit to brand new, you’ll get around to it soon

All the pain you’ve been through will be the making of you
Tear the heart in two, it’ll be the making of you
All the pain you’ve been through will be the making of you
Tear the heart in two, it’ll be the making

If I threw my pen into the sea
If I threw my pen into the sea
If I threw my pen into the sea
I know they’ll be someone to write after me [x2]

Will be the making of you

All the pain you’ve been through will be the making of you [x2]
All the pain you've been through
