Dear Hope

Read a book on Hemingway
Closed my eyes to see
The man himself appeared to say
To write is just to bleed

So I will write it down
All the jagged edges
The ugliness I've seen
Until I change the truth
Rearrange the letters
For beauty underneath, hmm

Dear hope
If you can hear me, don't go
I don't feel you now
But I know you're there

Dear hope
I could really use you now
Throw me a rope
Throw me a rope
Dear hope

I can't seem to shake it yet, feeling that
Things may never change
It always breaks my heart when broken parts
Ache to heal again

So I will write it down
And make jagged edges
Into something I can hold
Don't wanna lose my way
Like dear Hemingway
So I won't let go, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Dear hope
If you can hear me, don't go
I don't feel you now
But I know you're there

Dear hope
I could really use you now
Throw me a rope
Throw me a rope
Throw me a rope
Throw me a rope

Dear hope
