lyrics

I’ve been so lost inside,
Just not open wide.
A bit confused, trying to figure out the truth,
And I can’t decide.
Now which path to take,
To pretend or fake,
To scream so loud with my head above the clouds,
Or keep low and not complain.

But I, oh I,
I look to you, will you reassure me?
And I, Oh I,
I’ll run to you, with Open Arms.

They say there’s a light in the,
Tunnel once again.
But don’t rise to fall,
It’s just an oncoming train.
But I will be so free,
Of this tormenting me.
This ticking clock will let me pick myself up,
And shed uncertainty.

But I, oh I,
I look to you, will you reassure me?
And I, Oh I,
I’ll run to you, with Open Arms.

I look into the stream,
Alone with my fears.
I see the darkness in me,
Why do I,
Always magnify the bad instead of appreciating what I have?
“You’re not alone” says a voice from behind me,
Or from within my heart.
“You’re not alone”.

There’s nothing more that you could say or do,
That could console me,
Or give me a better view,
Or this dusty haze.
But I’m sure that my heart is ablaze,
I’m just waiting to find the space within my mind,
Ignited once again.

But I, oh I,
I look to you, will you reassure me?
And I, Oh I,
I’ll run to you, with Open Arms.
I’ll run to you with Open Arms.
