THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
Seeds In The Winter
(The Colours of White)

...being bits of proof that life survives as long as there's hope...

I've been rejected
and I've been effected
torn through to my core
almost gave up
  almost felt no more...

I've been abandoned
and I've been betrayed
the pain still burns through me
and probably will
past my dying day

but I'm still alive
and I want to love
and damn all the pain
I won't let it destroy
all I still dream of

so excuse my tears
I'm just healing now
and I can still smile
and I can still love
cuz I still know how

I didn't reject love
I didn't abuse love
I didn't betray love
I didn't refuse love
I didn't abandon
  those I promised to...
I didn't do it to those who did it to me
so I will not do it to you

and while it feels bad
like a fate worse than death
I know I didn't do it
so I can catch my breath
and remember that I can love
I can do it right now
as I reach out to you
cuz I (still) know how

my heart is still open
to everyone I've ever loved
no matter what they did to me
for that is how I love
unconditionally
positively
inevitibly
for all eternity

it's sad that some I've loved
no longer love me now
but I still love
cuz I know how


I Still Know How
