Take your closest friends
Look them right in the eyes they will not lie
They will not wince
And when someone new steps in
Give them time, give them mind, open your life
But don't let them win
Cause certain types of souls delight in breaking
Lately all of my hopes have been tied up with a stranger
She made me think I could change her
She made me think that my love was her own
Because she came from a broken home she was alone in her anger
And Claimed she couldn't remember
But the pain, it was etched in her bones
If a seed never sees the sunlight
Tell me, how the hell it's supposed to grow?
If you have a daughter stay
By her side, teach her right, her's is your life
Learn from your mistakes
And if you're sent a son
Be a man, hold his hand, show him love can
Be what makes men strong.
Cause honesty is all you need to carry on
Lately all of my hopes have been tied up with a stranger
She made me think I could change her
She made me think that my love was her own
Because she came from a broken home she was alone in her anger
And claimed she couldn't remember
But the pain, it was etched in her bones
If a seed never sees the sunlight
Tell me, how the hell it's supposed to grow?
So much for heartbreak
I'm letting go
And I'll find forgiveness
For all of that went wrong in the world
For I know that goodness
Is all we can hold
Yeah, all of the rest will fade
As the dissonance resolves.
