Hope

Are you listening?
I pray you are.
You’ve got to try.
We’ve come so far.
It’s time that I came clean.
It’s time you hear what I mean.
There were days when I thought
my straying heart would get caught.
But thank God you’ve never seen
that ugly part of me.
I know that you were right.
It’s all been worth this fight.
But no apologies.
Those wounds no longer bleed.
I hope we’re always gonna need each other,
feel each other.
I hope forever lets us touch each other,
know each other,
reach each other,
love each other…
Hope alone.
(You always wanted to feel this way.)
That’s all
(You know)
we need to stay in love.
(You always knew it could be this way.)
Just hope.
Hang on.
(You know)
We need to stay in love.
We need to stay in love.
You wouldn’t believe the fear
I feel every time I hear
people saying that this won’t last —
people saying our time has passed.
Won’t you please just hear me out.
I’ll whisper if you don’t shout.
Old words don’t mean a thing.
My heart says everything.
I hope we’re always gonna need each other,
feel each other.
I hope forever lets us touch each other,
know each other,
reach each other,
love each other…
Hope alone.
(You always wanted to feel this way.)
That’s all
(You know)
we need to stay in love.
(You always knew it could be this way.)
Just hope.
Hang on.
(You know)
We need to stay in love.
We need to stay in love.
I hope we’re always gonna need each other,
feel each other.
I hope forever lets us touch each other,
know each other,
reach each other,
love each other…
Love…
