I see you're not pleased with how things have gone
Your heart was empty and bare for too long
You lost your focus, your mind and your sight
As the warm glow of love turned into night
My advice though too little and too late
Take a deep breath, I know why you failed
Through your mistakes, the truth is unveiled
The shadows are gone, I know you'll do what's right
There's beauty to find, and that's why you fight
Your foolish eyes missed the signs on the wall
You opened her heart without heeding the call
Loving yourself might have felt so right
But it brings out the darkness and pierces the light
My advice though too little and too late
Take a deep breath, I know why you failed
Through your mistakes, the truth is unveiled
The shadows are gone, I know you'll do what's right
There's beauty to find, and that's why you fight
Now you've seen
the beautiful heart that you've always longed for
Now you've felt
The breadth of your soul, yeah it's reaching for more
Now you've missed
the chance to love like never before
Take a deep breath, I know why you failed
Through your mistakes, the truth is unveiled
The shadows are gone, I know you'll do what's right
There's beauty to find, and that's why you fight
Take a deep breath, I know why you failed
Through your mistakes, the truth is unveiled
The shadows are gone, I know you'll do what's right
There's beauty to find, and that's why you fight
