lyrical

So, I wrote this song a little over a year ago, for someone going through a rough time. The grand irony of the situation is that by the time I’d finished writing it, the friend I’d written it for had basically decided he didn’t actually need to talk to me anymore. So the song got shelved for a while, out of respect for irony so extreme that it rendered the message of the song utterly moot.

But I’m finding more and more that the lyrics are applicable to some stuff that’s going on right now. So I hereby rededicate the song, to someone who is, in fact, still speaking to me.

Breathe in, breathe out that’s one more day you’ve made it through I know it’s hard now but that’s just what you’ve got to do I know that it’s hard now but you can make it through What’s it going to take for you to listen when I say this is not the worst decision you could possibly have made I know the days are short now and it’s getting hard to see exactly how much better for you things are going to be hold on a little longer and I promise you will see but till that day comes round you’ve still got me I know this isn’t quite what you had bargained for this place so cold I see you looking for the door you try to I won’t let you lose your way so easily what’s it going to take for you to listen when I say this is not the worst decision you could possibly have made I know the days are short now and it’s getting hard to see exactly how much better for you things are going to be hold on a little longer and I promise you will see but till that day comes round you’ve still got I will be your shelter I will get you through the night I will be your strength when you’ve got nothing left to fight with I will be your beacon I will always guide you home you’re not in this alone
