HOPE

CHORUS:
I know it'll be alright, i'll, find a way, I promise some day, that I/
will be right by your side, everything alright, just close your eyes and say/ -these - words - with me/ I will find love, and I will find peace/
I know i'll survive, I know I can be, anything that I dream of/
I have Hope -

VERSE 1:
All i've ever wanted was love, all i've ever felt is hate/
I had hope in a prison cell, almost felt like fate/
'cos i'd pray for a chance, same place I learned to play/
the piano and write songs, in a church, locked away/

and desperate and alone, I threw caution to the wind/
prayed to a God, I could never comprehend believing in/
more than money and success, no desire to even win/
more than even being free, I just prayed for someone to let me in/

understand and love me, through my sickness and my health/
felt like I was by myself, not a single soul that I could tell/
every Christmas, Birthday, Fathers Day, locked up in a cell/
hoping on a card, but every year, that floor is where I fell/

So I prayed for someone, scared of being alone/
scared of walking out of prison, and being on my own/
with no money, no family, and no place that I could go/
but God answered my prayers, 'cos I met a girl that gave me hope/

CHORUS:
I know it'll be alright, i'll, find a way, I promise some day, that I/
will be right by your side, everything alright, just close your eyes and say/ -these - words - with me/ I will find love, and I will find peace/
I know i'll survive, I know I can be, anything that I dream of/
I have Hope -

VERSE 2:
The funniest chick i've ever met, and this is why i never said/
how much she means to me, because one day, after she's left/
I'll be left, with a constant reminder, a hole in my chest/
because she may be a gift from God, but i'm a fucking mess/

all I ever do is wait for things to go wrong, it's so long/
feeling sick with anxiety, no strength to even hold on/
but she deserves better than the empty shell, i've become/
i'm weak man, even getting stressed with my Daughter and Son/

just feels like i'm falling, pulling everyone with me/
drinking 'till I rot my liver, I and I dry out my kidney's/
self medicating, because this life is devastating/
lost so much time, time wasting, becomes so frustrating/

but every second with you is a blessing, i'm sorry i'm stressing/
all the fucking time, and making our lives so depressing/
but even if you leave tomorrow, I need you to know/
It was never your fault, I was born in this hole/

CHORUS:
I know it'll be alright, i'll, find a way, I promise some day, that I/
will be right by your side, everything alright, just close your eyes and say/ -these - words - with me/ I will find love, and I will find peace/
I know i'll survive, I know I can be, anything that I dream of/
I have Hope -

VERSE 3:
How can I ever trust, when all i've ever known is lies/
all i've ever felt is hurt, a crushing pain inside/
that you could never understand, unless you've felt it yourself/
how can I trust in God, when I know the devil so well/

it's easy for people to pick on, and make out like it's nothing/
but depression eats my soul, until I feel like i'm cutting/
everything out my life that's good, because i'm scared/
that they'll all leave anyway, so i'm just getting prepared/

i'm leaving this world soon, i'll be dirt, a distant memory/
it sounds pathetic, I just hope someone remembers me/
for the person I am inside, before darkness takes my mind/
and i'm lost in the place i've tried, to escape my entire life/

sat in a black hole, drinking to numb the pain/
so I can cope another day, with all the shit i've had to take/
the music's over, the song stops, and I fade away/
a sore loser, I guess I should have never played the game/

OUTRO:
Hope is a beautiful thing, but like love it's unpredictable, some times maybe it's best to just to be realistic and give up on your dreams, accept that all hope has gone. But maybe, just maybe, i'm just weak.

CHORUS:
I know it'll be alright, i'll, find a way, I promise some day, that I/
will be right by your side, everything alright, just close your eyes and say/ -these - words - with me/ I will find love, and I will find peace/
I know i'll survive, I know I can be, anything that I dream of/
I have Hope -
