Bitter Hope

It's a bitter hope
To feel a love that can't be met
Such a tender age
To live a life filled with regret

Holding emptiness
Can't replace what has been felt
Move along in time
Play the hand that life has dealt


Everywhere you go
I'll be there for you
Another place and time
We'll see this through


I'll find peace for us
Will you come too?
