Lyrics
You’ve come a long, hard way
But still some days you still feel all on your own
Other days you wish you’d gotten clean alone
Months of tears
You didn’t notice when your fears of every crushing sunrise
Replaced your dreams inside
It’s time for longing
Hope and wanting
Wishes and yearning
For the dreams that burn in you
I know it feels like make-believe
When dreams seem so far out of reach
But that’s the thing about dreams
I know love left you low, but that’s all I know
A bigger story there, but we
We never talked about the hard things
Until you locked me out
Now, somehow
You’re making an art of laying open your broken heart
