lyrics

I thought I was made for misery
But then love took a chance on saving me
Packed up all my hopes and all my tears
And said goodbye to all those lonesome years

I used to find a home in darkest nights
But never did believe that it was right
I wrapped myself in melancholy lies
And tried my best to shelter from the light

So I drove all my smiles around the bend
And loneliness became my closest friend
But since I let the light inside to shine
I've found hope is easier to find

Cause hope is where the heart is
Hope is where the heart is

It doesn't seem so hard to understand
How guilt and fear can make a child a man
Anxiety comes quick to those who stand
Beneath the dread of meeting life's demands

So if you're in a time of deep despair
Remember there are others with you there
Eight billion souls connected in each home
Their common thread what keeps them all alone

But hope is where the heart is
Hope is where the heart is

I still get caught up in ghostly chains
Echoes of anxiety and pain
But since I let the light inside to shine
I've found hope is easier to find
