OUR TRUE SELVES

(Andersen)

In the beginning it was all fresh and fun

But all I feel these days is

Tired, hopeless, defeated or numb

What breaks us changed us, you know it can’t be rushed 

We push against the tide, but the fight just keeps us stuck 

Chasing the clock, I scream for help (time runs out)

And the guilt weighs heavy again, I’ve lost myself 

Be my love, the light to shine through 

This year’s hell that’s struck me down 

Let me drift a while, but guide me home soon

Love me back there

Back to my true self

What will be left of us when all the fun runs out?

We swore we’d change our ways but still we’re here somehow

Another year older, not where we thought we’d be

Blindly consumed in wanting 

Slaves to our disease 

Chasing the clock, we scream for help (time runs out)

And the guilt weighs heavy again, we’ve lost ourselves

Be our love the light to shine through (be our love)

This year’s hell that’s struck us down (so lift us up now)

Let us drift a while, but guide us home soon (guide us home soon)

Love us back there 

Love us back to our true selves

How many times will we learn these same lessons till they’ll learned?

What’ll it take to change our course and persevere?

Sorry can’t hold the weight I feel but I believe that we will heal 

Be our love the light to shine through (be our love)

This year’s hell that’s struck us down (so lift us up now)

Let us drift a while but guide us home soon (guide us home soon)

Love us back there

Love us back to our true selves

Be our love the light to shine through (be our love)

This year’s hell that’s struck us down (so lift us up now)

We’ve been drifting awhile 

So guide us home soon

Love us back there

Love us back to our true selves

Won’t you love us back to our true selves

Love us back to our true selves
