There's a letter Pinned to the front door Waiting for you to get home It says that "I'm long gone, by the time that you read this" It's always easier To forget than to forgive Isn't it funny how, all we want to do is live Hope is when the heart stops beating Hope is when lungs stop breathing You think you've got it, figured out Well God can't help you now God can't help you now Hope is when the heart stops beating Hope is when lungs stop breathing You think you've got it, figured out Well God can't help you now God can't help you now It feels empty Holes left in the walls Where the pictures used to be I'm on to bigger and better things Or so it's just the way I make it seem If we only cared for the waterworks Would you be standing here next to me Simple desperation, out of moderation When you close your eyes then you'll see Hope is when the heart stops beating Hope is when lungs stop breathing You think you've got it, figured out Well God can't help you now God can't help you now Hope is when the heart stops beating Hope is when lungs stop breathing You think you've got it, figured out Well God can't help you now God can't help you now
