Black Birdie - ​hope lyrics

[Verse 1] Tale as old as time The story’s told been in many rhymes When our hearts have been destroyed We feel numb, and dull, and void We were told this since we crossed paths Taught that this life will never last Now it seems that day has come But instead of both souls, it takes one [Pre-Chorus 1] I will never forget those never words you said to me “Today is the day that you must leave me be Don’t cry, don’t be sad, don’t stop your joy not now nor never In my soul, we’ll be together forever” Since then, my life has changed The works of my mind were rearranged [Chorus 1] I’ve broken free from the chains of travesty No longer conformed in this uniformity I’ve found my one true home And for once I had hope for tomorrow [Verse 2] I’ve grown with grief and pain I’ve learned nothing will ever be the same Through trials and tribulations I’ve learned happiness isn’t a constant sensation [Pre-Chorus 2] I’ve loved and lost and loved and lost over and over again Gained a plethora of companions but also lost too many friends They love, then they leave, but most importantly they lie About always being by my side [Chorus 2] I’ve broken free from the chains of tragedy Learned I’m all I could ever need for me In search of a new home Starting to feel less hopeful [Bridge] Through pain and strife in this game of life Through death and apathy, I learned I don’t have to pretend to be fine ‘Cause I’m here to comfort me and earn Love through me and not someone else And forget all the things that I tell myself I may never be well and that’s okay [Outro] I’ve broken free from the chains of travesty No longer conformed in this uniformity I’ve found my one true home And for once I have hope For once I have hope Yes, for I have hope for a tomorrow
