Expectations. Reality. - Violet

Closed off from the love that I hold in my life

But can’t because…

How could we say nothing?

I was falling apart, you were so lost

You only see this work, you never see us walk away from everyone we love

And all the ones we could

So I hope you’re listening

I hope you followed me

What can I do to prove it’s all for you?

But I could never face the truth

We were coming undone, believing this was love

If only time would let the words I feel find their way for you, this could be

real

But I’m typically waiting until the day I don’t miss you

Holding out for the words to leave my lips and land

If only they could, you’d see that I understand

But you’re not here, so I put my faith in the things I’ve seen

I put my faith in the ones who believe in me

It’s the simplest things they never see to keep this dream moving

The times that we miss, friends we lost for this

You made me weak, but there’s a part of me that loves the feel

You’ll never see, so I’ll try a little harder

Try to be something more

You only see this work, you never see us walk from everyone we love

And all the ones we could

I hope you’re listening

I hope you followed me

What can I do to prove it’s all for you?
