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 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
