Words Like This

I know for once that it’s starting over
A finer knowing, hate, and understanding in me
Because before I know that I was blinded
But I’ve calmed down
And I’ve got up
I’m squinting to see

Everything that I missed
Every step that I tripped over
All that I care for
And all that I’d die for
And overtime I look in your eyes
And now all this pain I realize

(Chorus)
That words like this
Is what seemed to break you down
And my smiles like this
Are what turned things around
And all of the songs I wrote (and all of the notes I wrote)
That seemed to keep things afloat
Now seem to be dragging me back down
With words like this

Still again I see the times we had – the times we had
The fun, the laughs, the never broken dreams in me
But was it real? Was it sentimental?
Was it lies? Was it fake? A dream that I could see?

Everything that I missed
Every step that I tripped over
All that I care for
And all that I’d die for
And overtime I look in your eyes
And now all this pain I realize
