I can't smell the roses No, I haven't for some time And I guess I'm striking poses Every time I step outside I keep on running Try to beat it with a bottle I thought four was plenty But now they're all empty I pulled back those curtains And I let the sun in again It's like I saw morning for the first time And she welcomes me like a friend And when you spend so long hurting You can forget to believe in grace Too many conversations with the burden Got me crying out loud for change Broken bathroom mirror I've not used it for a while Been avoiding my reflection That's a symptom of denial I recognized myself today Little steps, little steps we take I threw away the empties Boy, there were plenty I pulled back those curtains And I let the sun in again It's like I saw morning for the first time And she welcomes me like a friend And when you spend so long hurting You can forget to believe in grace Too many conversations with the burden Got me crying out loud for change I don't know where this goes And I don't know how it ends All I know is that I'm changing And I want her back again I don't know where this goes (I don't where this road is taking me) And I don't know how it ends (and I don't know if I'll ever find my peace) All I know is that I'm changing (I know something's changed in me) And I want her back again (and it happened when) I pulled back those curtains And I let the sun in again It's like I saw morning for the first time And she welcomes me like a friend And when you spend so long hurting You can forget to believe in grace Too many conversations with the burden Got me crying out loud for change I pulled back those curtains And I let the sun in again It's like I saw morning for the first time And she welcomes me like a friend And when you spend so long hurting You can forget to believe in grace Too many conversations with the burden Got me crying out loud for change
