Hope

Just when I thought I had won
You pulled me back in
Cut through my thoughts
And hurt me again

So why am I coming undone
At the sound of your name
As if I don’t know
It was all just a game

I should try to forget
Everything about you
All that you did
And all that you do

But it’s just too hard
To try to erase
All that you were
Every last trace

You had me at hello
Cliché as it sounds
You broke down my walls
Down to the ground

I must find my own way
Guess that’s just how it goes
Following the wind
And the way that it blows

Life’s full of surprise
A tumbling ocean
Of crashing waves
And silent commotion

I’ve heard it before
I should find my own place
Go off by myself
At my own pace

But I still need time to heal
From the invisible scars
From the mess that I made
Of my broken heart

I have to spread out my wings
Learn how to fly
Give me a chance
To soar through the sky

But in the end I know
I’ll be just fine
Start anew
In the sands of time

I hold on to hope
With a firm grasp
Can’t let it go
It’s all that I have
