I am searching for my heart's content.
I find comfort while I drown in lament.
All the days wasted and the time that's spent.
Keeping my hopes up when it came and went.

Don't keep hanging on just turn and walk away.
What is meant to be will be and happen it's own way.
Yes I've been hurt and the instinct is to retaliate.
But think about the cost its really worth.

It's not worth it to be shallow and cold.
It's not worth it to keep hanging on.
Falling in love is like falling from grace.
The stronger it is the more bitter the taste.

I will not let the things of this world phase me.
Even though the world around me is all I see.
It is what's inside me that I strive to keep.
And to let it grow so I no longer weep.

Everyday for me is an uphill battle.
The stress of everyday makes my soul rattle.
But I have to live with it until the day will come.
And then I can breathe easy and I will not feel numb.

Numb to all the nonsense and looking for something to reach.
When reaching what is inside of me is all I need to teach.
To find my building blocks and build a solid foudation.
And to renew the life inside of me and make a new creation
