What will it take to find hope again?
What will it cost to feel joy again?
How will I cope if I get hurt again?
When will it happen, if hope leaves me again?
I'm trying to change, and I'm trying to smile.
I'm trying to be better, and to be worthwhile.
I want to believe you, I want to embrace you,
But will you again steal my hope, will I again resent you?
I want to be happy and I want to believe you.
I want to be friends, and I don't want to leave you.
But I'm terrified that you're just playing me,
And I'm scared that I'll walk into another tragedy.
Where is that hope?
Will my regrets ever cease?
How can I cope,
If you again steal my peace?
So don't do this to me,
Don't give me hope.
Don't promise me peace,
If you're just gonna leave me alone.
I want to trust you again,
But I'm tired of false hopes.
I want to believe that you're genuine,
But I'm all out of rope
To bail me out of the pit of despair
That you threw me in.
