Hope by Melodie Yvonne
Systematic revocation of your rights to me
Will be the very thing I need to set my heart ache free
Substitution of your face is just a deferred pain
Hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
Fading like a back to future picture in my hands
Invisible from chemicals that bring about our end
Hiding from you in the most precocious kind of way
But the prisms forming in my eyes are giving me away
Hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
I don’t know how to end it so our story never ends
My heart can’t breathe when you are near so we just can’t be friends
So I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
I stumble in the dark without your soul light monkey fuck
Not looking yet I’m finding and I’m running out of luck
I hope and wish and pray for you to save me from myself
But I’ve cut you off and now I’m hurting everybody else
Just going through these motions and I’m stuck inside my head
Still analyzing every single word you ever said
Replaying every moment through the movies in my mind
But I’m really not quite sure what I’m expecting me to find
I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
I don’t know how to end it so our story never ends
My heart can’t breathe when you are near so we just can’t be friends
So I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
My heart still quickens as I picture your sweet angel face
Looking in your eyes I thought I’d finally found my place
But both our souls are broken, we’ll not be there in the morn’
And that string that tethers me to you has finally gone and torn
I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
I don’t know how to end it so our story never ends
My heart can’t breathe when you are near so we just can’t be friends
So I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
Oh I hope I will and hope I won’t be seeing you again
