Lyrics

It's so easy to be cynical
And hope is such a fragile thing to hold
So much time has passed since we allowed ourselves
The chance to fully open up our souls

But lately something's changed
I can feel it in my heart
Though I still try to protect myself
The walls that I put up just fall apart

The answers to my questions
Are reflected in your eyes

What if we've finally learned from our mistakes?
What if it's okay to yearn for something more?
Now that we've done the hard work that it takes
We find we're the ones that we've been waiting for

Trusting you risks everything I am
I struggle just to overcome my doubts
I open up so I can let you in
The one thing I could never live without

The answers to my questions
Are reflected in your eyes

What if we've finally learned from our mistakes?
What if it's okay to yearn for something more?
Now that we've done the hard work that it takes
We find we're the ones that we've been waiting for

I move beyond the fear that stopped me in the past
and stand before you as I am
Letting go of all pretenses
I ask you for your hand

What if we've finally learned from our mistakes?
What if it's okay to yearn for something more?
Now that we've done the hard work that it takes
We find we're the ones that we've been waiting for
