So now, tell me how your story goes
|
|
Have you ever suffered?
|
|
If so, did you get better or have you
|
|
Never quite recovered from it?
|
|
|
|
Did you find your lover laying
|
|
In your bedroom with another and then
|
|
Did you let it hover over you
|
|
And everything else well after the fact?
|
|
|
|
Show me all your bruises
|
|
I know everybody wears them
|
|
They broadcast the pain
|
|
How you hurt, how you reacted
|
|
|
|
Did cancer take your child?
|
|
Did your father have a heart attack?
|
|
Have you had a moment force
|
|
The whole heart to grow or retract?
|
|
|
|
Or just shrink
|
|
Does the heart shrink?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tell me everything
|
|
Tell me everything you know
|
|
|
|
Were you told as a child
|
|
How cruel the whole world can be?
|
|
Did anybody ever tell you that?
|
|
|
|
Tell me what your purpose is?
|
|
Who it was that put you here, and why?
|
|
Did anybody really put you here at all?
|
|
|
|
And what of those necessities?
|
|
Like how to cope with tragedy and pain?
|
|
Did anybody ever show you how?
|
|
|
|
When it hits, will my heart burst or break or grow strong?
|
|
Is there really only one way to know now?
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure if I'm ready yet to find out the hard way
|
|
How strong I am, what I'm made of
|
|
I'm not sure I am ready yet to walk through the fire
|
|
I'm not sure I can handle it
|
|
|
|
Do you think if the heart keeps on shrinking
|
|
One day there will be no heart at all?
|
|
And how long does it take?
|
|
Am I better off just bursting or breaking?
|
|
'Cause I don't see my heart getting strong
|
|
|
|
Tell your stories to me, show your bruises
|
|
Let's see what humanity is capable of handling
|
|
She lost her kid, only seven, to cancer
|
|
She answered with faith in her god and carried on, while
|
|
|
|
He was attacked by his son and was stabbed
|
|
In his stomach and his back and his arms, he showed me scars
|
|
82 years old, told me, "I still have my daughter and my wife
|
|
And I still have my life and my son"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tell me what your worst fears are
|
|
I bet they look a lot like mine
|
|
Tell me what you think about
|
|
When you can't fall asleep at night
|
|
|
|
Tell me that you're struggling
|
|
Tell me that you're scared
|
|
No, tell me that you're terrified of life
|
|
Tell me that it's difficult
|
|
To not think of death sometimes
|
|
|
|
Tell me how you lost
|
|
Tell me how he left
|
|
Tell me how she left
|
|
Tell me how you lost everything that you had
|
|
Tell me it ain't ever coming back
|
|
|
|
Tell me about God
|
|
Tell me about love
|
|
Tell me that it's all of the above
|
|
Say you think of everything in fear
|
|
I bet you're not the only one who does
|
|
|
|
Everyone in the world comes at some point to suffering
|
|
I wonder when I will, I wonder
|
|
Everyone is out searching for someone or something
|
|
I wonder what I'll find, I wonder
|
|
|
|

|
|
I wonder what I'll find
|
|
I wonder what I'll find
|
