[Verse 1]
I was never the kid to speak aloud
I lacked the courage but maybe you'll hear me now
Always the boy who cried wolf
Now hear my howl louder than they ever could
[Pre-Chorus]
So take it back
Let's take it back
To a better time where I was fine
Trade your sorrows, your sadness and I'll show you mine
[Chorus]
So wherever you are I wish you grace
Just know I look back with a smile on my face
It's clear it's time for me to close this door
I'll find my solace in pathetic metaphors
[Verse 2]
I hope
I hope you're safe
And I hope that the lights will guide you
To what you desire
[Chorus 2]
With every single breath I hope it fuels your fire
So please believe me, you know I'm not a liar
And if you're looking for affection or a path to choose
You'll find it in the chest of someone I once knew
(My heart, my sleeve)
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
Is never as easy as you make it out to believe
[Verse 3]
So wherever you are
Cause I'll be there waiting patiently
With memories close at hand
These words are aching in my chest
So help me find a way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My hope, my dreams
My everything
It's all slipping away
Slowly slipping away
[Chorus 3]
Now that I know where you are, you're dressed in lace
I look up smiling with a teardrop down my face
It's clear it's time for me to close this door
I found my solace knowing I helped you soar
