lyrics

It’s late and the night told you to think better of it some time ago
But you just keep fighting…fighting…
You keep forcing it, you keep holding on
It’s time to let go, time to make the tough call
Time to stop faking it all
Cause if you want it you can get it but you need the drive
And it seems so hard, when it brings you down, and it brings you down

When all I wanted to find
Was the spirit I’d lost
And it’s feeling like the right time
To try and dig it all out
Break the everyday curse
Of holding on to what hurts

It sorta seems like you try to forget things
Sometimes it seems you forget to care
You know you’re not the only one with a little bit of soul ache
Sometimes your aching don’t compare
To everyone, who’ve got everything on their minds?
And everyone who seeks but cannot find
Well there’s a little ray of light of hope (I hope)
And it comes in the shape of a whispered dream
And in the midst of the colour scheme
You can see it coming your way.

When all I wanted to find
Was the spirit I’d lost
And it’s feeling like the right time
To try and dig it all out
Break the everyday curse
Of holding on to what hurts
