Purpose
It's too easy to miss life's beauty in the midst of pain
I gotta believe this isn't all for nothing
This heart is crumbling in my chest
What happens when I lay to rest
I've lived day after day dying to find
A reason to hang on to life
I've been given so much
Possessions and love
Still my worth im unsure of
In the midst of everything
I'm left here so empty
I sit and watch crowds of people
I wonder if their smiles are just a mask
Or is it possible to keep your heart in tact
I need to know if I can enjoy beauty again
If I showed you my pain, would your heart let me in
It's too easy to miss life's beauty in the midst of pain
I gotta believe this isn't all for nothing
This heart is crumbling in my chest
What happens when I lay to rest
I desire to see the world with a heart of a child
Oh to let my imagination run wild
Maybe ignorance is bliss
Because the more I know
The more I fear the world
I want to believe in happy endings
That the life I live has meaning
But maybe this pain has a purpose
Maybe the scars I bare were worth it
In the midst of my hell
I realized how far I fell
God please help me believe
I'm begging for forgiveness
I've given up on this dark road
I can't live this life alone
It's too easy to miss life's beauty in the midst of pain
I gotta believe this isn't all for nothing
This heart is crumbling in my chest
What happens when I lay to rest
