lyrics

The world has told me
Be light, be gentle now
Grow older with your head resting on another's shoulder
That road seemed easy
But the nights grow colder now
Searching for a spirit who can brave this life with me

The lights shine brighter
And I start to lose myself
Faking all these smiles when they don't come naturally
And I get my hopes up
Giving you the best of me
Cause I can't believe
That holding back would ever get me where I want to be

And no one ever thinks to warn you that it isn't easy
To open up without a doubt of what he stands to gain
Reinventing every word into a good intention
Goes unmentioned

But there could be a bright new day
Right beyond the life I always thought I'd lead
There could be a bright new day
Waiting when I start to trust in what I feel

So I've made my mind up
Not to waste my life away
Thinking I could make you someone that would make me happy
Did you think that I would wait for you
After everything you put me through
I don't see how you think that you're the reason that I breathe

And no one ever thinks to warn you it'll only hurt you
To open without a doubt of what he stands to gain
Reinventing every word into a good intention
Won't lead to

A bright new day
Right beyond the life I always swore I'd lead
There could be a bright new day
Somewhere where I'm holding on to what I see

There could be a bright new day
A bright new day
A bright new day
I'm gonna make a bright new day
