A Cursive Memory

Painting the Roses Red

I'm miles away
Drifting to far to be saved
Hope I can make the shore
Because my arms are sore
Sinking to the ground
This lie has weighed me down
If love is the light
Why is it always dark as night

I am silenced by a hopeful lie
Jus
t until I realize some days are better days
And better days seem to slip away
We all know we fake it
We go on though we know it's wrong
Our small hearts are breaking
Carrying this weight for far to long

You might see the setting sun
When you think the day is young
And when the lie's gone you'll move along

I don't question what I make
Only what I take
I don't have the words to say
Cause I stay out of the suns way

I am silenced by a hopeful lie
Jus
t until I realize some days are better days
And better days seem to slip away
We all know we fake it
We go on though we know it's wrong
Our small hearts are breaking
Carrying this weight for far to long
We lie down and take it
We're painting all the roses red
Our small bones are shaking
My heart and soul no longer weigh

Carrying this weight for so long
But I can't change it
I know I can't carry on, carry on like this

We all know we fake it
We go on though we know it's wrong
Our small hearts are breaking
Carrying this weight for far to long
We lie down and take it
We're painting all the roses red
Our small bones are shaking
My heart and soul no longer weigh
