The Hope
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We’re a car crash
Hard time lovers on our last breath
It makes no sense
That we should be together
Cause once upon a time we were good, so good
When I was me and you were you
Now we’re a car crash
But then I see your face
And the doubts fall away
And maybe we can make it after all
And then I touch your hand
And I can understand
That we might lose but we won’t lose it all
Or maybe maybe oh
It’s the hope that kills you
We’re a cliche
Burn so bright then we fade away
All the mistakes
Are coming back to haunt us
Cause once upon a time we were howling at the Moon
Screaming out forever but it came to soon
We’re a cliche
But then I see your face
And the doubts fall away
And maybe we can make it after all
And then I touch your hand
And I can understand
That we might lose but we won’t lose it all
Or maybe maybe oh
It’s the hope that kills you
Then I see your face
All the doubts fade away
And maybe we can make it after all
And then I touch your hand
And I can understand
That we might lose but we’ll never lose it all
Or maybe maybe oh
Maybe maybe oh
Maybe maybe oh
It’s the hope that kills you
