Gratitude
Hometime Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What went wrong
With my heart?
With my head?
What went wrong
With my heart?
It′s messed up in the head

That sacred word
Made a hollow sound
It rang off the walls
It crashed to the ground
I've lost the power
And will to deceive
Just who would I be kidding
With the web I weave?

And there′s still so much
I should celebrate
Everything I ever asked for
Delivered on a plate
I feel gratitude
But I can not turn that into love
To love
To love
To love
To love
To love

Couldn't stop the word
From sounding like a lie
Have I turned to stone?
Have I lost my mind?
Answers on
A postcard please
I've really lost my way
Haven′t got a breeze

And there′s still so much
I should celebrate
Everything I ever asked for
Delivered on a plate
I feel gratitude
But I can not turn that into love
To love
To love
To love
To love
To love

What went wrong
With my heart?
With my head?
What went wrong
With my heart?
It's messed up in the head

And there′s still so much
I should celebrate
Everything I ever asked for
Delivered on a plate




I feel gratitude
I feel gratitude
