Stepson – Compassion & Growth Lyrics

If love is a flower it needs compassion to grow
But how do you nurture when you feel all alone?
And if hope is a candle, my wick has burnt away
My smoke is a waving, ash grey, I'm fading away

Im burnt out at both ends
I'm always exhausted
I'm so tired, I'm trying, I'm trying
Believe me I'm trying

I give up, I can't do this anymore
I can't do this anymore

If love is a flower it needs compassion to grow
But how do you nurture when you feel all alone?
And if hope is a candle, my wick has burnt away
My smoke is a waving, ash grey, I'm fading away
If love is a flower it needs compassion to grow
But how do you nurture when you feel all alone?
And if hope is a candle, my wick has burnt away
My smoke is a waving, ash grey, I'm fading away

I've built up a wall to protect me from harm
But how will I know when the right person comes along?
I'm so afraid of letting anyone in at risk of getting hurt
A broken heart heals protracted, beating still unheard

I keep pretending that everything's okay
But the truth is you're the reason
It's hard to smile everyday
The closer you look the less of me you'll see
I keep pretending that everything's okay
But the truth is you're the reason
It's hard to smile everyday
The closer you look the less of me you'll see
