Hope from Hollow by Where? The Lights Are!

Listen Matthew
You're gonna find the one for you
Everything you've dreamed of
Is right in front of you
Listen Matthew
And I swear that you'll go far
Four chords and your guitar
Can change the world

You just need to run, run away
She's gone but that's okay
You're future wasn't made to be with her
It was made for you

So I'm writing this song
To tell you in third person
That I know it won't be long
Till somebody sees the same beauty she did
And I know you hate yourself
And I know that you feel shelved
But the tears that now fall when you look in the mirror
Will still turn to joy when she's standing behind you
Cuz somebody out there is waiting
And you'll still have your daughter
But she'll grow up in capable hands

Listen Matthew
You gotta leave it all behind
Close the curtains, shut the blind
And never forgive her
Who knows darling
Maybe someone's listening
Maybe someone heard you sing
And you struck a nerve and they just can't get enough

And you'll run, run away
And together you will wait
Cuz you both want a family
To call your own

So I'm writing this song
To tell you in third person
That I know it won't be long
Till somebody sees the same beauty she did
And I know you hate yourself
And I know that you feel shelved
But the tears that now fall when you look in the mirror
Will still turn to joy when she's standing behind you
Cuz somebody out there is waiting
And you'll still have your son
He just won't look like what you had dreamed

But you and me both know
You wanna sled with them in the snow
And watch as they grow
And keep them from danger
And then there's a knock at your door

And you'll say oh darling you were wrong
I changed as a person
And it wasn't long
Till I finally found someone who could make me feel loved
And I know you'll hate yourself
And I now that you'll feel shelved
But come inside and meet my son and my daughter
There's no need to cry cuz forever was never enough

So here's your song
To tell you that I'm strong
And I'll wait as long
As it takes to find someone who can make me feel loved
And I will hate myself
And I can fuck my mental health
But I'll keep hanging on cuz their faces in frames
And a beautiful wife who can help me choose names
And no more controlling and no petty games
Is better than the memories that plague my brain
