Lyrics
Looking for a detour round your broken heart, you gave your all and then some- your love, your favorite piece of art- You gave so much, you're not sure how to step back, now you know things fall apart, including the life you had Chorus- I think it was Sylvia who said Is there no way out of the mind, I think it was Sylvia who said Is there no way out of the mind? Putting pen to paper might save today- One way or another I'm gonna choose to stay. Watching for a new dream that seems hidden from your view, but one good spark could lead you to a life you never knew, If you'll hold on, your blues could take a big step back, then you'll know things change like the weather, like the storms as they roll past Repeat Chorus
