lyrics

You care for the world like a little flame that lights up a candle in your heart
But you handle the truth like it’s a hurricane, you’re not to blame
But as it is I think it’s blowing us apart

I want to know what you saw in me so I can reclaim who I am
‘Cause I can’t find the answer in my memory, presently
And I was hoping you could help me one day understand

With all that we wanted swept under the rug
We shrug off the reasons we can’t rise above
But there is a difference between you and me
You see what you want and I want what I see

So light up the candle in your heart
As you handle the truth like it’s a hurricane, you’re not to blame
But as it is I think it’s blowing us apart

In the whirlwind of your mind, are the storm clouds by design?
Did the cyclone of your day put the chaos on display?
Is the summer rain you feel just a show or is it real?
Did your heartfelt hurricane put out the flame?
