All their lives, I've been searching for the cure

Please, how can I ever heal you from the pain that you endure?

Why am I unable?

Is it because I am the source?

A seed over time can bear a tree

That blocks the light from shining in

I can feel the ground is sinking

I can see you cutting ties

I close my eyes

I try to see the olive branch or the dove

I ask the heavens up above

Hey, why doesn't love conquer everything? Mmm

I thought I heard you singing

And all along, I guess I knew I'd pay the cost

I was asleep while driving

And when faith is blind

You can't help gettin' lost

I don't know what I was thinking

I tried to let go for just a while

But this feels like exile

It could just be the alcohol and my blood

It's rushing through me like a flood

Dialing drunk to say

"I love you more than anything," mmm
