Lyrics

How has it come to this
Everything’s such a mess
Feeling so powerless
God only knows what’s next
I couldn’t think or feel
Nothing at all seemed real
You were a light revealed
In my darkest hour
All I ever wanted was a place
that we could go
You said “It’s gonna be alright.”
You told me “It’ll be alright.”
You said that “It’s gonna be alright
You’re not alone.”
Wounded and scarred and scared
With all of these ghosts in here
Nights of such suffering
In these days of such reckoning
I was just so far gone
Everything seemed so wrong
You were a sacred psalm
In my darkest hour
All I ever wanted was a place to feel at home
You said “It’s gonna be alright.”
You told me “It’ll be alright.”
You said that “It’s gonna be alright
Just let it go.”
Just let it go
It’s a question of grace I guess
My mind it plays tricks on me
Resentment’s a bitter seed
Rewriting history
Of who we are
I was an arsonist
Burning down palaces
Self-pity and helplessness
In my darkest hour
And all I ever wanted was a place
that we could land
You said “It’s gonna be alright.”
You told me “It’ll be alright.”
You promised it would be alright
Just take my hand
You said “It’s gonna be alright.”
You told me “It’ll be alright
You said “It’s gonna be alright.”
“You’re not alone.”
You’re not alone
And it’s a question of grace I guess
You’re not alone
It’s a question of grace I guess
You’re not alone so let it go
You’re not alone
