Ryan David Orr — Hope & Fire lyrics

Lyrics

I bet you could have been big enough had they told you what they all expected/a
simple faker with the saintly pleading so as not to be rejected/just a little
intoxicated by the selfish lie you tell me/
I could stand upon broken ground if what I found resounded clearly
Just then you disappeared inside of all that I am and I know why…
it’s made of hope and fire, this innocent goodbye
We sat beating the bad days back with a wanton attack of the certain,
and I know why…
it’s made of hope and fire
I bet you might’ve been perfectly fine were this scattered line drawn
straighter/moving through to be something true is so much better now than
later/
How is it that I spoke so clear and came so near to love sincerely?
/ just to find that it never would be something that would not elude me
Just then you disappeared inside of all that I am and I know why…
it’s made of hope and fire, this innocent goodbye
We sat beating the bad days back with a wanton attack of the certain,
and I know why…
it’s made of hope and fire
I hope I don’t break you down / break your heart / this intent is nothing more
than plain and sent / we live instead for being rid
