with hope in my heart

when i was younger and much more romantic
i believed in falling in love
even though i knew deep down it was a choice
i willing gave up my senses and voice
back then, secure as a friend,
i believe in the human heart
so now i wonder was it just false faith
when did my dreams fall apart?

when people are cruel to each other
when you try to fool your brother
when people take all they can
pretending to care till it's gone

i wonder what they discover
what do you get out of it?
if you ask me, people turn love
into a pile of shit

now don't get me wrong
see, i wrote this song
with hope in my heart
and tears in my eyes
because i am scared
i need a reprieve
from the evidence
for i want to believe
but i see human beings
everywhere we go
destroying and hating
the smile's just for show

you can misunderstand if you want to
it's probably easier that way
but if you're in earshot
then maybe you hear what i say

i don't know where i belong
humanity has love all wrong
but i wrote this song
with hope in my heart
will you prove me wrong?
