Lyrics
DOWNSIDE OF HOPE
VS
No I don't know if you'll ever take me back,
Baby this anxiety is killing me.
I believe your door is open just a crack,
Long as there's a ray of hope, I can't let go.
CH
I see a light at the end of the tunnel,
They say faith is believin'
When you don't really know.
If you ever change your mind,
You know where to find me,
Dangling at the end of your rope,
Hanging from the downside of hope.
VS
Everybody telling me, get on with my life.
"Girl, he doesn't love you now,
Move on somehow."
Every time I start to think they might be right,
I see you show the slightest sign
And somehow in my mind,
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BR
I'm a prisoner of hope,
Locked up with your memory.
Til I get over you,
It won't let go of me.
Maybe heartache makes you stronger,
But hope just keeps me weak.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
