A Year Later

I took a walk way past midnight down by the old factories
There’s no one alive in the city tonight
As old men they sleep by the road side
She’s a storm blowing up and down the coast
But all I hear are sounds of rain drops
Singing songs against my window

A bitter melody reminds me of
The person that she used to be
I never try to get mad but that’s all I ever do
I can’t shake this hopeless feeling
That I’ve been taking out on you
Is there a reason for this distance?
Is it something that I lack?
I think I lost it as a child
And I might never get it back

But a lot can change in a year
I’ve been waiting a long time
Losing battles for the sake of the one I love
I’ve been waiting my whole life
Writing letters to the ones that I let go of
I remember the night when you closed your eyes
It wont help but the sky is a little brighter now
You’ve been living like you know there’s nothing left
But I hope you’ve got a reason to believe in us
