Miracle Lyrics

Cover art for Miracle lyrics by Paramore

I think this song is about a relationship, i'm going to go right ahead and assume that its from the girl's perspective, only because its sung by Hayley Williams, who is in fact female.

I've gone for too long Living like I'm not alive So I'm gonna start over tonight Beginning with you and I

Both parties involved suffer from the common self-esteem issues (i'm not good enough for anyone, no one will ever love me, etc.) and as a result they go through life depressed. When they find each other, they finally realize they can be loved, so they decide to try and remake themselves.

I'm not going 'Cause I've been waiting for a miracle And I'm not leaving I won't let you Let you give up on a miracle When it might save you

However, the guy in this situation may have relapsed, and started to push away the girl because he doesn't think that she really loves him. She responds by saying that she won't leave, and won't let him give up on this when it might save him, and her as well.

We've learned to run from Anything uncomfortable We've tied our pain below And no one ever has to know

She wants him to open up to her and let up the pain that they have previously just pushed away, and together they could deal with it. Instead of just running away from anything uncomfortable like they are used to.

Just my humble opinion. thanks for your time!
