Supposedly it was a wise wise man

Who said it's better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all

But never to have loved

How many times is the truth that you take to be true

Just truth falling apart at the same speed as you

Until it all comes away at a million degrees

And you're just a few pieces of fallin' debris

And she's hopeful

Hopeful

For me

I'm coming out of the dark clouds

Then she went away and she packed all her love and

I could not believe it how little there was and

I stood in the cold kitchen with nothin' to say

Who'd keep the whole world spinning when she went away yeah

She kept telling me about the good things I deserved

That I wanted somebody I'd mistaken for her

But one look in my eyes and she'd know she was wrong

So she wouldn't look back at me until she was gone

How many times did you give all your love and

Find out it was so far from far from enough

I followed her out into the street in the rain

And the whole world stopped spinning and just went up in flames

And she's hopeful

Hopeful

For me

Coming out of the dark clouds

She's hopeful

Hopeful

For me

She says it to me often

The sunlight corroded and the day started to fail

The rocks in the road sharpened shadows to nails

The fence posts were empty and so were the trees

Had the bluebird of youth sung its last tune for me

I've seen her around now with someone new I don't know

She likes greed eyed boys who are haloed in hope

But I know the look in his eyes and I know all the old signs

It's just a couple more curves before his own road unwinds

These days I'm feelin' better about the man that I am

There's some things I can change and there's others I can't

I met someone new now I know I deserve

I never met someone who loves the world more than her

She has been through her own share of hard times as well

And she's learned how to tear out the heaven from hell

Most nights I'm alright still old rocks roll downhill

But she says I'll get better

She knows that I will

And she's hopeful

Hopeful

For me

I'm coming out of the dark clouds

She's hopeful

Hopeful

For me

I'm coming out of the dark clouds

She's hopeful

Hopeful

For me

I'm coming out of the dark clouds

Coming out of the dark cloud
