lyrics

Think I might make it
These steps that I’m taking
Might eventually make me strong
I might finally write songs
Think if I smiled I might actually be happy
Think that they’ll notice, they see right thru me
I’m so alone
Here comes the paranoia
They all say they care
They all say they care I swear they don’t (swear they don’t don’t)
Here comes the paranoia

There’s hope
For every seed that died
There’s hope
For every tear you cried
There’s hope
For emptiness inside
Happiness a day away- your just stuck on rewind , there’s hope

Gotta be hope in this cruel world
Theres gotta be hope for these small girls
Gotta be hope, gotta be hope.
Somewhere out there. mmmm


Stay still.
Wait for your bruises to heal before you move again.
Realize that love and a lover don’t mean a friend
Un-bottle your feelings and feel them instead
Bottle the rain then learn to drink it.
Taking that pain like two shots to the head
It’s in Refusing to stay victim
Beginning to fight systems
Break generational curses
Realize your family’s hurting
Knowing there’s power in words and you can save yourself.
Put a Comma when you ended it , need to pace yourself

There’s hope
For every seed that died
There’s hope
For every tear you cry
There’s hope
For emptiness inside
Happiness a day away your just stuck on rewind , there’s hope.
