Spark of Hope

I'm afraid of my heart, 'cause it feels all at once Like falling apart while falling in love Braving the dark, then braving the sun Mmm And when I get down, baby, I get real low Reaching for fountains that offer no flow Breaking new ground, ignoring what's sowed But I'm tired of spinning out of control There is a spark of hope that's fighting in my veins I'm giving all I know to make it light into flame And though it's getting cold trying to hide from the rain I'm living on a spark of hope And for a long time, if you asked how I was I couldn't reply without subordinate clauses Tempted to lie, but settled for pause And I think I'm getting better just because There is a spark of hope that's fighting in my veins I'm giving all I know to make it light into flame And though it's getting cold trying to hide from the rain I'm living on a spark of hope From the hollow shadow that is pulling at my reins To the psychobabble that is feeding me my pain Do I have to grapple just to step out of this rut? 'Cause I really need a spark to be enough There is a spark of hope that's fighting in my veins I'm giving all I know to make it light into flame And though it's getting cold trying to hide from the rain I'm living on a spark of hope There is a spark of hope (From the hollow shadow that is pulling at my reins) I'm giving all I know (To the psychobabble that is feeding me my pain) And though it's getting cold trying to hide from the rain (Do I have to grapple just to step out of this rut?) I'm living on a spark of hope ('Cause I really need a spark to be enough) I'm living on a spark of hope I'm living on a spark of hope
