Five For Fighting - Hope Lyrics

When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
'Cause love has forsaken you
When you're burning on fire but have no desire
To put out the flames and move

You gotta have hope
You gotta have something
There's always a reason to break
Hope 'cause nothing less will save the day

When you are in pain then step off the train
Nobody's waiting for you
You can knock down each door of old metaphors
Or embrace the cold hard truth

But you gotta have hope
You gotta have something
There's always a reason to break
Hope 'cause nothing less will save the day

I see that look in your eyes
I've seen it before
Each to our own disguise
If you need me, babe
You're not alone, no, no

When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
'Cause despair has stolen your song
But raise up your fist and into the abyss
Scream,"Coward, get off my lawn"

Hope
Something
There's always a reason to break
Hope 'cause nothing less will save the day
