A Hope Like You

I’m easy talk and cheap goodbyes

Second-rate in a first-class disguise

My heart sleeps soundly, don’t wake it

A hope like you could break it

I’m lost deep in crimes and vice

Can’t get to the table to grab the dice

My heart is weak, I can’t take it

A hope like you could break it

It doesn’t matter how hard I try

Can’t earn some things no matter why

My heart knows we’d never make it

A hope like you could break it

People say love changes you

As if change and love are easy to do

My heart is calling and I can’t shake it

But a hope like you could break it

Some things end before they start

The moment they form, they fall apart

My heart wants so badly just to say it

But a hope like you could break it

Told myself this story a thousand times

Can’t seem to break the wants free from my mind

So much of my world goes unnamed

Some people can’t be tamed

But maybe I should stake my claim

Maybe I should claim my stake

I’ve heard some hopes are worth the break

Yeah, maybe I should stake my claim

Maybe I should claim my stake

On the chance the hope is worth the break
