Tidal Wave

I wish I could cross my arms and cross your mind

Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve

All my life I wish I broke mirrors instead of promises

Cause all I see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me

I wish I had covered all my tracks completely

Cause I'm so afraid, is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train

Lift your arms, only heaven knows where the danger grows

And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way

help is on the way

I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity

Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me

Depression please cut to the chase and cut a long story short

Oh please be done, how much longer can this drama afford to run

Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend

But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again

I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity

Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me

Then I was given grace and love

I was blind but now I can see

Cause I've found a new hope from above

And courage swept over me

It hurts just to wake up whenever you're wearing thin

Alone on the outside

So tired of looking in

The end is uncertain

And I've never been so afraid

But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope

And that makes me feel brave
