Sia/Musicfire.in Lyrics

I thought I knew what I wanted
I believed I had a clear idea of what I desired.

I thought I'd found my place
I was under the impression that I had discovered where I belong.

But then my walls came crumbling
Suddenly, everything I believed to be true collapsed and fell apart.

Were gone without a trace
The things I thought were solid and reliable disappeared without a hint.

Can't find my own reflection
I'm unable to recognize myself due to my situation and emotions.

As tears they cloud my face
My face is obscured by my tears and emotions.

Although my world had nothing left
I felt as though everything had been taken away from me.

You told me I'd be safe
You assured me that I would be protected.

You were there
You were supportive and dependable.

You were there
You were steadfast and reliable.

And I was such a fool
I realize now that I was a fool for not recognizing your support earlier.

You helped me to find my way home
You assisted me in regaining my sense of self and direction.

You tried to help me live again
You made an effort to assist me in rediscovering the joy of living.

A place to start anew
You provided a fresh starting point for me to rebuild my life.

But all I did was wallow up
I allowed myself to be consumed by my pain and misery.

And lash back out at you
I unintentionally directed my negative emotions and pain at you.

Can't hold it all together
I'm unable to keep everything in my life from falling apart.

Can't take what I've been dealt
I couldn't cope with the challenges and hardships I was facing.

I couldn't make it in the world
I struggled to survive and thrive in the world.

I couldn't find myself
I lost touch with who I was.

I thought I heard you crying
I believed I heard you weeping.

I saw your clouded eyes
I observed the haze in your gaze.

I can't believe its what it took
I can't believe it took me so long to realize what was happening.

To make me realize
I finally understood the situation and my own emotions.

I wish I'd been there sooner
I wish I had comprehended sooner what was happening for you.

I wish I could've helped
I wish I had been able to provide you with aid and comforting.

I wish that now and forevermore
From now on and always, I wish for your safety and protection.

That you'll feel safe yourself
I hope that you too will be reassured and out of harm's way.

I'll be there
I'll be here to lend my support.

I know I'm such a fool
I acknowledge that I am foolish and slow to comprehend.

But I'll be there
Regardless, I'll provide unwavering support.

Together we'll find our way home
We'll work together to rediscover our sense of direction and purpose.
