HOW MUCH MORE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2017

DAYS COME, AND DAYS GO 

A BLESSING AND A CURSE

SOMETIMES I'D RATHER NOT SHOW UP FOR ANYTHING

SOME DAYS I'D RATHER NOT HAVE TO FACE ANYONE

KEEP MYSELF TO MYSELF

RECHARGE MY SANITY

NO PAPERS NO NEWS

WAY TO GO, YOU CAN'T LOSE

I DON'T WANT TODAY, UNTIL TOMORROW

I'LL SKIP IT IF IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU

ONCE IN AWHILE, THE WORLD PRESSES

JUST A LITTLE TOO HARD

SNEAKS RIGHT UP BEHIND ME

CATCHES ME OFF-GUARD

I HIDE MYSELF AWAY

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED

BECOME UNKIND

SOMETIMES I'M ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT'S MINE

WHATEVER HAPPENED OVER TIME

IS THIS HOW WE WANT TO LIVE

I SPEND TOO MUCH TIME STRESSING

ABOUT THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE

I HAVE TO TRY, THAT'S JUST ME

HOW MUCH MORE CAN THERE BE

YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL, I DON'T NEED IT

DON'T BUY IN ANYMORE, DON'T FEED IT

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I WALK ALONE

IT'S THEN I KNOW I'VE REACHED MY DARKEST HOUR

WALKING AWAY FROM EVERYONE

I'M A LITTLE WORRIED, I CAN'T SEE

NOTHING BUT BLACK IN FRONT OF ME

BLUE IN WAVES COMING THROUGH

WITH A STIFF WIND BEHIND ME PUSHING ME ALONG

TO A PLACE, I BELONG TO

RIGHT HERE IN THE TREES

THE STARS COME OUT TO DREAM

AND I CAN START TO BREATHE

EXHALE A LITTLE RELIEF

AS I START TO SEE

ALL IT'S EVER GOING TO BE

IN THE SMOULDERING RUINS

COMES THE HOPE, TO CARRY ON

YOU HAD IT ALL ALONG

WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS GONE 

IT LEFT ME SHAKEN DEEP INSIDE

BUT I'M OKAY

HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS CAN WE TAKE

SURELY MOST OF THIS, IS A MISTAKE

HOW MUCH MORE, COULD THERE BE
