"How It's Always Been" Lyrics

The spark is gone and my past is dead.
I still have hope for the road ahead.
Time has jumped off the clock on my wall.
Since then I haven't received a call from you, from you.

You've seen the dark and you've seen the light,
the sides of me that I'm trying to fight.
I'm bruised and I'm broken, I'm made of glass.
I shine for a moment, but I shatter fast.

Cause you mean so much to me.
My heart is locked and you hold the key.
And I hope I'll never be,
the guy that you can't stand to see.

The night rolls in and the pain comes fast.
I'm in so deep. How long will it last?

I stretch for a breath, but I fail again.
You reap what you sow, it's how it's always been.

Cause you mean so much to me.
My heart is locked and you hold the key.
And I hope I'll never be,
the guy that you can't stand to see.

Because you mean so much to me,
because you mean so much to me.
Let me tell you how I feel.
I believe, you and me are very real.

Cause you mean so much to me.
And I hope I'll never be.
Cause you mean so much to me.
(my heart is locked and you hold the key)
And I hope I'll never be,
the guy that you can't stand to see.
Cause you mean so much to me,
cause you mean so much to me.
