[Verse 1] [Female vocal, low and steady, slight rasp, controlled bite] i hope someday that you'll come to find this i hope that time doesn't come to late. you gave me hope made me dream you eased my pain and helped me grow You were the light I thought I needed you were the choice I thought I wanted [Pre-Chorus / Build] [Pushing harder, more grit in the tone] I hope someday that you'll come to find this i hope that time doesn't come to late. you gave me hope made me dream you eased my pain and helped me grow You were the light I thought I needed you were the choice I thought I wanted [Verse 2] [Full bite, edged and direct, almost spoken-sung with force] But now I see you clipped my wings, You didn't want to see me fly! You sold me dreams That I couldn't cash! You made me promise-- But when I found the darkness, You left me there! So what the hell happened? To all these pretty things You put in my head! So what the hell happened? To showing up! [Chorus] I hope someday you will find this And that time, doesn't come too late. Night after night, once the tears went dry I had to dream, boy I had to try Just to see if I could fly! (And I soared) And in the darkness of the night, I had to shine and say "you'll be alright" [Outro] [Steady, clear, unflinching—resilient rather than wounded] Now I'm making promises That I know I'm gonna keep I'm not bitter, I'm not bruised Before I was blinded, By you! But now I see--- You was onesided, Yeah you was one-sided, And I, I was blindsided. [Fade]
