Here again like it’s never left.

You’ve been peaceful way for too long.

Hypnotized by its cruel jest,

You feel tired, faint, and alone.

All your nights are an endless maze,

All your days blend into a muddled daze.

In your head there’s no place to hide.

You can run for a million miles,

You can bide your time on distant isles,

But it’s always along for the ride.

Close your eyes.

For a little while,

Leave the world behind.

All your doubts

Are just wicked lies;

Chase them from your mind.

You can rise,

But you don’t believe,

Even though it’s true—

Hugging your chains won’t heal you.

I wish you loved yourself…

In this court you can gladly play

Judge and jury who sentence you.

Blinded by your own guilt and shame,

You can’t see what’s false and what’s true.

Old wounds open; they’re deep and rough.

The one thing you love is not good enough.

That’s the shadows that plague your mind.

You can color the world of gray,

You can light a candle to guide your way

With the love that still lies inside.

Close your eyes.

For a little while,

Leave the world behind.

All your doubts

Are just wicked lies;

Chase them from your mind.

You can rise.

Don’t you still believe,

Even though it’s true?

Hugging your chains won’t heal you.

I wish you loved yourself like I love…

For a while, lay down all your burdens

like your clothes.

For a while, lie down here with me

so close,

Lie down here and close your eyes...

...For a little while,

Leave the world behind.

All your doubts

Are just wicked lies;

Chase them from your mind.

You can rise!

Don’t you still believe,

Even though it’s true?

Hugging your chains won’t heal you.

I wish you loved yourself like I love you.

Like I love you

Like I love you

Like I love you

Like I love you

I wish you loved yourself like I love you.
