So Difficult 04:49
Waiting for the day, when I’ll know exactly what to say and what to do, what to do for you I was trying to delay, the decision that I left too late, too late for you oh, I swear it’s true Something so difficult, something so difficult I may be insecure; love me like you did before like you did before Sleeping off the pain, of the guilt that’s raking my brain, and it burns, but I still don’t learn I’m waiting for a change, but my head’s still stuck in the same prison and you, you don’t know it’s true Something so difficult, something so difficult I may be insecure; love me like you did before like you did before

a stone's throw, from hero to no-one the fears and the voices around him they're pounding, is anyone brave enough? whispers whispers and they told him, they told him go on then prove yourself go on then prove yourself is anyone brave enough? is anyone brave enough? he's not armed for, a battle no weapons of mass destruction no one will fight, they're too afraid to die and so the small boy steps forward and whispers he whispers and they told him, they told him go on then prove yourself go on then prove yourself is anyone brave enough? is anyone brave enough?

the spinning fortune wheel, the people in the changing the tide have pulled my heart strings, tying knots within my life rising water marks the tide first the tidal wave, her beauty blocked by an empty stall then the deafening calm, unsure waters before the storm before you came into my life I've got the burning of a lighthouse, to guide me along the shore but not the voices of anyone, to check me anymore it's a light, it's a light, it's an independent storm what's clear to me is not so dear to me, nor for anyone to know I wont have my fortune told in the palm of my hand the hand I rely on is the one who made the storm in whom I am alive I've got the burning of a lighthouse, to guide me along the shore but not the voices of anyone, to check me anymore it's a light, it's a light, it's an independent storm what's clear to me is not so dear to me, nor for anyone to know

standing there in the pouring rain I'm holding you back, you must refrain would you, would you do the same for me? I take you back to the day when all your worries got washed away would you, would you do the same for me? you keep going, you don't look back you say 'hey I wanna know you've got my back and that you wont, that you wont let me down' and time and time and time again I'm waiting for you, for you my friend and there's nothing left to be waiting for and I I wanna see a smile on your face again stop stop waiting for the day to end you don't know no you don't know what you mean to me so I'll be the one to keep calling you family I see a smile, I see a smile, I see you I see a smile on your face again
