What Tomorrow Brings
I could never explain the fires your touch sparks
Or how you pull on my heart like a magnet, attracting opposites
You say you're burned out
I can taste the ash behind your tongue
I remember the sharp crack when you broke the mirror
And the sobs that escaped you when you thought nobody could hear
I see the hole in your chest
Where the tears of your heart have torn
I'll keep trying to make you believe
Believe that you aren't done
From your husk you shall emerge
Stronger and vital and with a belly of flames
Stand with me in the rain
It cannot quench the embers of my eyes
They are only for you
Stand with me in the wind
And let the flow fuel the blaze I made for you
Stand with me in the sun
So that everyone may see the sparkle of your smile
Stand with me in the dark
And we can still illuminate our world
You are strong, but you are tired
Come and lay in my arms
And when the moon asks after you
I will tell her she will see your face tomorrow
She will laugh and chase after the sun
And I will be here with you
Until you are ready
Ready for what tomorrow brings
Or how you pull on my heart like a magnet, attracting opposites
You say you're burned out
I can taste the ash behind your tongue
I remember the sharp crack when you broke the mirror
And the sobs that escaped you when you thought nobody could hear
I see the hole in your chest
Where the tears of your heart have torn
I'll keep trying to make you believe
Believe that you aren't done
From your husk you shall emerge
Stronger and vital and with a belly of flames
Stand with me in the rain
It cannot quench the embers of my eyes
They are only for you
Stand with me in the wind
And let the flow fuel the blaze I made for you
Stand with me in the sun
So that everyone may see the sparkle of your smile
Stand with me in the dark
And we can still illuminate our world
You are strong, but you are tired
Come and lay in my arms
And when the moon asks after you
I will tell her she will see your face tomorrow
She will laugh and chase after the sun
And I will be here with you
Until you are ready
Ready for what tomorrow brings
