The Quintessential Ballad Of A Brokenhearted Poet Lyrics by Joe Jordan
I carved her name into my soul
In a dream I wandered many years ago
Back when her smile still believed
The scars upon my back were from ripped off angel wings
Back when God and I were friends
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years
We haven’t talked since then
You filled his space for a time
It wasn’t fair of me to put that weight on you darling I
I’m not the one you came to love
Oh I hope who I’ve become will be enough
You’ve seen all the good that I have lost
Oh I hope whatever’s left will be enough
Mom and dad just look away
For the life of me I just can’t find
The happy child you raised
The world has stolen what shined bright
You know stars just don’t shine
When overwhelmed by the city lights, oh I
I’m not the one you came to love
Oh I hope who I’ve become will be enough
You’ve seen all the good that I have lost
Oh I hope whatever’s left will be enough
Oh I hope whatever’s left will be enough
God have I let you down so bad
We played tag when I was young
Now you just don’t tag me back
I miss you and I wish that you’d just talk
Like we did when I’d pray away the monsters in the dark
I’m not the one you came to love
Oh I hope who I’ve become will be enough
You’ve seen all the good that I have lost
Oh I hope whatever’s left will be enough
Oh I hope whoever’s left will be enough
