hello friend, i haven't seen you here before
how's your heart, is it losing all control?
i gotta say, you're looking all the worse for wear
you hear that voice, i see it whispering in your ear
love to hate and hate to love yourself sometimes
don't look now, you're leaving all of it behind
give me your ear and i'll give you my silhouette
and tiny shadows dancing in the quiet darkness of your rest
speak the words, the words you know you need to say
i'm listening now, i'll tell you everything's okay
it's not wrong, it's not bad to feel this way
and who you are is not defined by yesterday
it's been years, i know it's been too much to hold
but i love that smile and i love to watch that heart of gold
it's coming out, it's inching closer step by step
just reach for me, only heaven knows what's next
