lyrics

It's been so long since I wrote a tune,
but now here I am. This one's for you.
I am reaching out for words to help spill my soul,
but they're all dry as bones or cheap as gold.
I could soak in songs that provoke despair
or I could wave my arms like I just don't care,
but I'd be lying to the world about the things I see;
trade that S.O.S. for an R.I.P.

I'll tell her she's beautiful through every eye roll.

If you could read my mind, you'd find the pages burned:
nothing but blackened ash stuffed in a silver urn.
I cross my heart hope to survive
that I will bite my tongue and tame my pride
so for a moment, for a moment, I will catch your eye
through the horoscopes and suicide.
I see a child cry his first breathe of life.
I hear your loving words as I reach my time.
You're saying "Life wasn't easy, but god it was worth it.
I'm glad I'm here to hold your hand as you drift away from it."

I'll tell her she's beautiful through every eye roll.
I'll tell her she's beautiful through every eye roll.
Life wasn't easy, but god it was worth it. I'm glad I'm here to hold your hand as you drift away from it.
I'll tell her she's beautiful through every eye roll.
