Wrote another sad song

It would seem heartache's all I know

Not that I'm a mess in everything

But it may just be what I do best

Feels a bit strange to say such a thing

But the feelings run so deep

While we're on the subject of it

I do feel there's a purpose to this

Just not entirely sure what it is

Hope it falls on me before the hurt closes in

Cause I can feel so much with a passing glance

A half smile and a hint of sin

The joys of a confident man

Just as well, the defeat of the forgotten

The depth is truly breathtaking

Don't need a drug to enhance it

I could surely fall away

Let it sweep me off my feet

Give in to loneliness

But I think maybe the purpose is

Just to stand defiant of it

To stare it down, not give an inch

Get on my knees in defense

And find the strength to live again

Share what it means to truly love

Give until there's nothing left

Shed light on a darkened soul

Make him feel again all that he's lost

Speak a few words of truth

Give a gift he never knew

So he can turn it round again

And spread the fire that was given

That's really all I value in life

Everything else is just noise

Far from perfect but I do what I can

As mentioned I'm a broken man

But that's where I find beauty

In the humble things

The genuine smile of defeat

Because you'll never really own anything

You gained without being on your knees

And nothing shines quite like love

It's the most precious thing I own

I know most won't understand

They'll pass it off as a hollow rant

The many words of ignorance

And the babbling of little circumstance

But I'll keep getting to my feet

Do my best to turn a cheek

Because I know all too well where they're at

I often find myself where they stand

And that you see is the beauty in it

Love understands we're all imperfect

We only fail when we walk away

Not seeing ourselves in those ugly things

One last thought before we end

In case you doubt what's been spoken

Look next time at what surrounds

Find a need you can own

Give yourself without expecting back

And the doubts will fade in the light of it
