Beat but not broken

Down in the dark
when the day feels to hard
the nights just to long
and there aren't enough stars

sleep just a few hours
drink to much caffeine
slip through the days
like water through sand

think of a letter I never did send
the words I missed saying
when I had the chance

keep walking along
my head in the clouds
much better up here
then down on the ground

down there lies my body
my battered heart too
but up here are my dreams
of a lifetime with you

the roads gave me blisters
the skies gave me tears
your hand gives me hope
that I'd lost over years

not so shiny and new
more battered and bruised
but my hearts not yet broken
it might still have some use

please handle with care
and treat it with love
promise you'll keep it
it's the only one that I have
