Lyrics
You've been watching dawn from the gutter
You've experienced difficult times or a low point in life.
Trading one bad move for another
You've made one mistake after another.
It's been a stormy night but it's almost through
A challenging and turbulent night is coming to an end.
Friends you once loved don't know you
People who were once close to you have distanced themselves.
Even your own eyes don't know you
You feel disconnected even from yourself.
You think this whole world's trying to bury you
You believe the world is conspiring against you.
But it's not true
Contrary to your perception, the world is not trying to destroy you.
So don't you say
Don't assert that there's an irreparable flaw at your core.
There's something in your core that can't be saved
Challenging the idea that some essential part of you is beyond salvation.
'Cause it's not true
Reiterating that the negative belief is false.
And every atom of my heart is missing you
The speaker deeply misses someone, possibly related to the struggles described.
Well it's OK to be scared when
It's acceptable to feel fear when faced with a closed and impassable situation.
You're stuck behind a door that won't open
Being trapped and unable to progress.
The shadows in your dreams that are chasing you
Nightmares or fears that seem threatening are not real.
They're not true
Reiterating that the negative aspects in dreams are false.
So don't you say
Challenge the idea that an inherent part of you is irredeemable.
There's something in your core that can't be saved
Refuting the belief in an unsalvageable core.
'Cause it's not true
Stating again that the negative belief is untrue.
And every atom of my heart is missing you
Expressing deep emotional longing for someone.
The good will come through
Positivity will eventually prevail.
I wish that you could feel it the way you used to
Desiring that the person can experience positivity as they did before.
I wish you could believe it the way you used to
Wishing for a return to a previous state of belief and optimism.
The way you used to
Reflecting on how things used to be.
