It’s been a while since you were smiling
And I’m pretty sure that you’re not sleeping well
Though I can’t see much point in denying
You can choose your own way out of hell
So take your time
Sometimes it’s all we need
Some time alone with pain
Just don’t lose track
Of all the things still waiting up ahead
It’s hard to feel from all the problems
Heavy clouds hang low above us
World is often cruel and unforgiving
And I can’t promise perfect shelter
No magic lands behind the rainbow
But someday soon the storm is bound to end
And clear blue sky alone is worth living
I called to see how you were doing
“Well, it’s not good but I remember worse”
At least you’ve got your head out of the ruins
And second steps are easier than first
