Hope

I know I need you now and I hate it

I m scared that If I lose you I won t make it

But ain t nobody do me like you do

The way you break my heart in two

So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?


You have really been the only way to

Live through the civil wars, and

Nine elevens and holocausts then

Dream of a better dawn

I remember when you taught me how to fly

I used to treasure you like gold

When ignorance was bliss back then

But so much has changed with time

I ve watched some people die since then

Now I ve lost most fights that I ve fought and

I feel more broken than whole and

I ve cried more than often than not

And I know that it s you in it all

So it makes me scared to trust you

When you re so often full of it

Pretend that I don t let it bother me

But I do, and it does


I know I need you now and I hate it

I m scared that If I lose you I won t make it

But ain t nobody do me like you do

The way you break my heart in two

So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?


Your light used to keep me up at night

Dreaming of all I could be

Anything could happen, these days

An unaffordable luxury

I love you, I ain t gonna lie

You ve been like water to my tree

Now you re slowly drowning me

And it s hard for me to see why

We re still standing here



I know I need you now and I hate it

I m scared that If I lose you I won t make it

But ain t nobody do me like you do

The way you break my heart in two

So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?


Maybe our time s come and gone on

Me and you had a long time, a nice run

But everything good always has an end come

And maybe it s time you and I move on

But you re the one carrying me to the next line

Have I ve let you let me down for the last time

I need you more than I ve ever had to

But I don t want to


Don t let me lose you


I know I need you now and I hate it

I m scared that If I lose you I won t make it

But ain t nobody do me like you do

The way you break my heart in two

So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
