Hopeful Lyrics


Supposedly it was a wise wise man
Who said it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all, never to have loved.
How many times does the truth that you take to be true
Is just truth falling apart at the same speed as you
Until it all comes away in a million degrees
And you're just a few pieces of fallin' debrisAnd she's hopeful. hopeful. for me.
I'm coming out of the dark cloudsShe went away and she packed all her lovin'
I could not believe it how little there was
I stood in the cold kitchen with nothin' to say
Who'd keep the whole world spinning when she went away yeah?She kept telling me about the good things I deserve
That I wanted somebody I'd mistaken for her
But one look in my eyes and she'd know she was wrong
So she wouldn't look back at me until she was goneHow many times did you give all your love
And find out it was so far from far from enough?
I followed her out into the street in the rain
And the whole world stopped spinning and just went up in flamesAnd she's hopeful. hopeful, for me.
I'm coming out of the dark clouds

She's hopeful. hopeful, for me.
She says it to me oftenThe sunlight corroded and the days started to fail
The rocks in the road sharpened shadows to nails
The fencepost were empty and so were the trees
Had the bluebird of use on its' last tune for meI've seen her around now with someone new I don't know
She likes greed-eyed boys who are haloed in hope
But I know the look in his eyes and I know all the old signs
Just a couple more curves before his own road unwindsThese days I'm feelin' better about the man that I am
There's some things I can change and there's others I can't
I met someone new now I know I deserve
I never met someone who loves the world more than herShe has been through her own share of hard times as well
And she has learned how to tear out the heaven from hell
Most nights I'm alright still all rocks roll down hill
But she says I'll get better, she knows that I willAnd she's hopeful. hopeful, for me
I'm coming out of the dark clouds
She's hopeful. hopeful, for me
Comin' out of the dark clouds, comin' out of the dark cloudsThe word is as the world is
Everybody's gonna hurt like hells some times
The word is as the world is
Everybody's gonna hurt like hells some times some times
