Here's for Hoping

Look at that girl, now a couple months pass
And she only ever wanted something to last
Oh, I'm turning my back,
I want you and I want you to want me back.
Look at that boy he's so afraid,
Pushing anyone who takes a step in away,
Beautiful bird, locks himself in a cage.
So here's for hoping he don't go and want her back
Cause she's already five feet six inches down the track.

But this is the first time that I've ever felt so alive,
Cut the string I've been holding onto for dear life,
I will fly away from what's better left behind,
And I won't apologize

Here's for hoping
Here's for letting it show
Here's for giving in and
Never letting anyone know

Truth be told I only want what I know I cannot have
So here's for hoping you don't turn around and want me back
Disappointment runs in our veins but I will not bleed myself dry
Let yourself forget that I ever meant more to you than meets the eye

But I will send a whisper your way on the wind
Here's for hoping you finally let someone in,
This is my surrender I'm letting you win,
Drink the poison and never go thirsty again.

Here's for hoping,
Here's for letting it show,
Here's for giving in and
Never letting anyone know,
I want you and I want to want me back,
Yeah.
