lyrics

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve been smoking again,
Does that make me weak?
Well, I’d be lying if I said
It didn’t bring me some relief

Is it wrong that I should settle
For a peace that comes so cheap?
Or should I climb that uphill battle
To reach my golden victory

From where I could fly away

My heart is broken again,
Does that make me weak?
Well I’ve been grieving all the words
That I was too afraid to speak

If I’d loved a little bolder,
Not been so shrouded in mystique,
Would my heart be broken open?
Would love be pouring out the seams?

Would it have been enough to set me free?

I’ve been hoping again,
That I might fall in love
But my mind is so unsteady,
I don’t know if I’d be ready

I wish I could fly on the wings of a dove
To where my path would be revealed
Where love is all that I could feel.....

But...
there’s beauty in the Fall from Grace
