Learn, Live, Grow

lyrics

A split second of hope would turn this whole year around
If it would just show itself and stop hiding as something else
The chips in your armor never stop happening
They just start hurting less and you learn how to let it go

You tell me that this happens far too often on
All the weekends when you feel like giving in
It makes you want to fall apart
And you confess to me
You're becoming more acquainted with the floor and concrete
You struggle to find a reason to be when
nothing exists for any reason, I believe
If you'd learn how to mend
All the wounds you own
You'd finally move along,
Learn to live, and grow
I thought when I arrived I'd have a lot to say
I'm at a loss for words I prefer the silence anyway
It's killing me to see you as half the person you could be
It's eating me alive to sit back, watch, and do nothing
But what am I supposed to say, I cannot make this go away
Why does everything have to be temporary

A burn from bathing in your afterglow
You taught us how to learn to live and grow
A single file line of problems that all say
"Lets hit him where it hurts so feelings get messy"
This is getting old
I'm looking through a lot of paintings and memories
My head's about to burst, so why don't you trust me
I'll leave you alone

Don't lie I can tell you've been shaking hands with defeat
And you're a different breed to everyone you meet
But we're the jerks who stand shoulder to shoulder
Who broke away from just repeating the same day over again
You're circling back just to find a new way
You'll wake up again feeling drained and feeling the same

And it keeps me up at night, these are the best years of our lives
How could I let them slip by
It's all that I've known for a while now
