Hope
All this time I watched you grow
And nothing about your heart I took for granted, these days I'm on my own
Still, it takes the breath right up my nose, said you wanted to fly alone
I never understood the way you see it and it cuts right through my veins
There's nothing I could say to make you stay
I felt the rage evolve
And manifest itself in conversation, I wanted more than love
Something I could shoot up in my brain, said I changed, I'm not the same
Darling, you know I'm not one to gamble on current circumstance
I break my heart and leave when I get the chance
I've thought so long and hard
If I'm cursed to rock the boat forever, past loves have come and gone
And I can't help but think it's all my fault, I never wanted to fly alone
But show off such aversion to your effort, I hate this back and forth
Still I know, with you I'm better off
So will this be the last?
Scoffing at such things I tend to think of, oh, but I really want
I really want, I really want to be with you and it fucks me up
In moments short, I relinquish that desire, but still I feel you close
I'm only 22, I still have hope
