I Woke Up, Today.

Can you please explain,
The way to put all my faith
into a box that has your name
engraved into the heart shaped lock?

And, Can you please guarantee,
Your way is how I should be?
Because these days my conscience,
has no alliance with your words.

I woke up, today,
much like any other day;
with a heart full of questions
and a book with half answers.

I woke up, today.

If the truth is in the sky,
Why, Oh why did you make it so cloudy ?
If the truth is in the sky,
Why can't I see you there?

I can't quite comprehend,
Why Im supposed to make ammends
Because, I know you don't like when I pretend
so I'm not.

And, I cant quite comprehend,
How im supposed to make amends.
Infact, I'm a little offended that,
I have to spend the rest of my life trying.

I woke up, today,
much like any other day;
with a heart full of questions
and a book with half answers.

I woke up, today.

If the truth is in the sky,
Why, Oh why did you make it so cloudy ?
If the truth is in the sky,
Why can't I see you there?

Can you please explain,
can you please guarantee?
Because I can't quite comprehend.

and I realised today,
Unlike any other day;
That nothing is ever certain.
We just have to take our chances
and run.

The truth isn't in the sky,
it's in your eyes.
