Hope (Part 1)

I can’t tell you how many times we’ve failed
But it feels like our chance has passed us by
You would think that we’d start to get used to it
But each month another part of hope dies
So what are we going to do?
We never planned this life for you and me
What if we’re wrong?
I don’t know how long we can just wait and see
But I’m holding on to hope that something can change
I can’t let you go
And nobody talks about it
We just pretend it doesn’t hurt
We hide it away somewhere
And carry alone the way we’ve learned
But I’m holding on to hope that something can change
I can’t let you go
I’m losing my mind, I’m losing my faith
I can’t, I can’t let you go
But I’m holding on to hope that something can change
I can’t let you go
I’m losing my faith, I’m losing my mind
I can’t, I can’t let you go

I can’t believe we lost you
I can’t believe you’re gone
What do we do now?
I was ready to be a father
So we drive home
We drive home
And close the door
I have to keep us together
But I’ve got nothing left
We just sit in silence
I can’t talk about it
But we hold on
We hold on
And close the door
I lie awake in silence when I should be
Hearing you breathe
I fall asleep just long enough to dream of
How it would feel to hold you
So we let go
We just let go
And close the door

So many lost and lonely, please keep them safe till then

Escape
08:37
|
|

When those memories drag me in
I give up trying, numb within
I see the disappointment in your eyes
All that I could do was wait for you to tell me
What I had to do to make it right
I never meant to hurt you
Searching for a trace of empathy
I can’t face the fear I’ll never feel your comfort
Acknowledgment, support, or sympathy
I’m such a disappointment
So I’ll run to the place it doesn’t hurt
I’ll find a way to bury all the voices saying
You’ll never prove, you’ll never prove you’re worth
The love that you expected
I’d hide in here forever if I could
Each time it takes a little more to fend the fear
I feel alone, I feel misunderstood
Tell me when it’s over
I cannot face myself
Can I escape me?
I can’t erase this weight
Can I escape?
The room was quiet
Their voices silent
My heart was pounding
I can’t imagine
How I let this happen
Mother
Can I be the mother that he needs?
Can I crawl back up? Oh help me please
Can I feel and give and love and stay?
I’m afraid this fear won’t fall away
The fear is rising
How long can I fend it off?
How long can I hold on?
I’m scared I’ll let him down
This room is quiet
My voice is silent
My heart is pounding
This room is quiet
My voice is silent
My heart is pounding
I cannot face myself
Can I escape me?
I can’t erase this weight
Can I escape?

Don't Give up on Me
04:04
|
|

Why is everybody giving up on each other?
Don’t give up on me
Not even trying to love one another
Don’t give up on me
Why is everybody giving up on each other?
Don’t give up on me
Not even trying to love one another
Don’t give up on me
I’m asking if you can take me the way I am
Though I’m lacking virtue
Forgive me what I say, forgive me what I do
Cause I don’t want to hurt you
I want to stay with you forever
Don’t give up on me
No way to face the world but together
Don’t give up on me
We love ourselves but not one another
Don’t give up on me
You never know what you might discover
If you don’t give up on me
Don’t give up and let me go
I’m hanging on to when you said
You’d love me without condition
Don’t give up and let me go
Believe me when I say that I
Still love you without condition

The Light
04:23

Hide my face again behind these guilty hands
Shy away from your touch
Time won’t take away this wanting in my heart
But sometimes I believe as much
Oh what I’d give to cloud these vivid memories
But I don’t think I can
Cause I’m afraid of what you’d think if you could see
Where I’ve been
You can’t hide alone inside your bitter heart
You can’t stay inside
Fall into the light
Fall into the light

Take Me Away
08:10
|
|

When I wake up and the house is cold, I lie still
And I listen for the sound of you breathing
Maybe this will be the day you don’t wake up
I shouldn’t have to be the one who finds you there
And it’s always been this way
Maybe today will be the day they take me away
Today they take me away
You used to look me in the eyes, and I felt love
I can tell you’ve given up, and I’m so scared
Wasn’t supposed to be this way
Nothing I can do to change
And it’s always been this way
Maybe today will be the day they take me away
Today they take me away
A knock on the door it’s all suddenly over
And the screams and the broken things echo to peace
I want to believe in a place where I’m safe and loved and taken care of
But what am I trading for?
I’ll take your hand if you ask me to
There has got to be better than this
But can I believe when you say you will
I need something that’s better than this

Find Myself Today
05:40
|
|

I want to go I want to run
I want to find myself today
I’ll never know what’s to become
If I just hide myself away
Today I wake up, look around, and see that everything has changed
I can’t believe I left it there but hesitation still remains
And after all the cruel and ugly things I never should have seen
Is there a way to shed this skin and start again with something clean?
It’s hard to find a way to trust when I have all this doubt
Past promises and broken dreams it’s hard for me to figure out
But it isn’t fair if I don’t give them a chance to try
Maybe this is what I need to finally tell the past goodbye
I want to go I want to run
I want to find myself today
I’ll never know what’s to become
If I just hide myself away
I’m looking back on all the choices
that I never got to make
I want to go I want to run
I want to find myself today
I’ve got to go I’ve got to run
I’ve got to find myself today
I’ll never know what’s to become
If I just hide myself away.
I’m looking forward to a choice
That I finally get to make
It’s time to go I want to run
I want to find myself today

Stand Beside Me
04:01
|
|
||
So many times I have tried to face this world alone
But that’s behind me
I’m looking forward to a future that’s brighter than I’ve known
With you beside me
Will you stand beside me?
Will you stand beside me?
And if I fail you, will you push me away?
Would you stand beside me, stand beside me?
Could you really love me as if I were your own?
Would you let me in or would you deny me?
What if I don’t live up to the dream you’ve always known?
Would you walk away, walk away, or stand beside me?
Will you stand beside me?
Will you stand beside me?
And if I fail you, will you push me away?
Would you stand beside me, stand beside me?
Could you really love me as if I were your very own?
Would you let me in or would you deny me?
What if I don’t live up to the dream you’ve always known?
Would you walk away, would you walk away or would you stand beside me?
Will you stand beside me?
Will you stand beside me?
And if I fail you, don’t push me away
Just stand beside me, stand beside me, stand beside me
