Never meant to find the beauty
Hidden beneath scars and nightmares
Deep like February’s snow
Running, running
My mind always looking for tomorrow
And the next day, and the next
Tomorrow’s here
And all I can think of is the beauty
My scars will leave here
A broken home
A mother left behind, old and alone
A brother lost and out of control
People who share my story
Friends going off to live their lives
Want memories they’ll keep until late adulthood
The tears have sprung
I never meant to harvest such beautiful memories
Of a childhood I dreamed of leaving behind
Places that I’ll never visit again
Creeks that will be footless
One less car in the right lane
This was my dream
Now it’s here and all the memories
Have made me hesitant
Whispering sweet nothings
About all that will be left behind
Sweet, sweet nothing
Hidden beneath scars and nightmares
Deep like February’s snow
Running, running
My mind always looking for tomorrow
And the next day, and the next
Tomorrow’s here
And all I can think of is the beauty
My scars will leave here
A broken home
A mother left behind, old and alone
A brother lost and out of control
People who share my story
Friends going off to live their lives
Want memories they’ll keep until late adulthood
The tears have sprung
I never meant to harvest such beautiful memories
Of a childhood I dreamed of leaving behind
Places that I’ll never visit again
Creeks that will be footless
One less car in the right lane
This was my dream
Now it’s here and all the memories
Have made me hesitant
Whispering sweet nothings
About all that will be left behind
Sweet, sweet nothing
