Hard Luck Story

You make me want to believe in something;
That’s not easy;
Not when you’re used to a hard luck story
covered in spikes and blackened hearts; 
You make it easy to have faith;
What is it about you?
I hope I’m not a pebble on your covered road; 
I hope I’m not a face that you already looked away from;
I’m slowly trying to rebuild something 
that’s been broken way too long;
I should probably tell you that;
But how can I when I am surrounded by rules?
You make me want to make a crazy decision.
You let me stop thinking.
I need what you give me but only if it’s real.
I’m ready to talk, when you’re ready to listen. 
It’s not easy, but I want to believe in something; 
I’m not sure what to tell you 
all I know is I really want to, don’t let me down;
You make it so easy
to fall completely for that drinkable smile; 
You feel just like a daydream; 
Just don’t spin me around 
if you’re not ready to catch me;
Because I want so badly to believe in you,
That’s not easy, 
but Im ready to let go of this hard luck story.
