Hope

I threw it all away on a midnight dare Let the whispers in my ear do the talkin' I swear They said "Girl you're stronger you'll be fine" But they didn't see the love that was hangin' on the line You're out there somewhere not too far But distance grows longer when I hide my scars I've got someone new and he's alright But there's something missin' in the dark of night I hold onto hope like a cigarette Burnin' slow but I ain't quit yet You were the fire now I'm the smoke Chokin' on words that I never spoke I let 'em in I let 'em take us down Now I'm lookin' for a way to turn back around With every touch I come undone Guess I never should've let you run- But hope is all I've got Friends who swore they knew what's best for me Ain't the ones lyin' awake in misery He's good but good's not what we had A heart can still be happy while missin' what it had There's no rewind on the words I said But if there was I'd turn 'em back instead I smile when he's holdin' me tight But in the shadows I still think of you at night I hold onto hope like a cigarette Burnin' slow but I ain't quit yet You were the fire now I'm the smoke Chokin' on words that I never spoke I let 'em in I let 'em take us down Now I'm lookin' for a way to turn back around With every touch I come undone Guess I never should've let you run- But hope is all I've got I tell myself "Move on let it lie" But the truth keeps pullin' me back every time He's good for now but you were the best And I can't shake the feelin' this heart's still obsessed I hold onto hope like a cigarette Burnin' slow but I ain't quit yet You were the fire now I'm the smoke Chokin' on words that I never spoke I let 'em in I let 'em take us down Now I'm lookin' for a way to turn back around With every touch I come undone Guess I never should've let you run- But hope is all I've got Hope is all I've got Hope is all I've got...
