[Verse 1]
I can't smell the roses
No, I haven't for some time
And I guess I'm striking poses
Every time I step outside
I keep on running
Try to beat it with a bottle
I thought four was plenty
But now they're all empty

[Chorus]
I pulled back those curtains
And I let the sun in again
It's like I saw morning for the first time
And she welcomes me like a friend
And when you spend so long hurting
You can forget to believe in grace
Too many conversations with the burden
Got me crying out loud for change

[Verse 2]
Broken bathroom mirror
I've not used it for a while
Been avoiding my reflection
That's a symptom of denial
I recognized myself today
Little steps, little steps we take
I threw away the empties
Boy, there were plenty
[Chorus]
I pulled back those curtains
And I let the sun in again
It's like I saw morning for the first time
And she welcomes me like a friend
And when you spend so long hurting
You can forget to believe in grace
Too many conversations with the burden
Got me crying out loud for change

[Bridge]
I don't know where this goes
And I don't know how it ends
All I know is that I'm changing
And I want her back again
I don't know where this goes (I don't where this road is taking me)
And I don't know how it ends (and I don't know if I'll ever find my peace)
All I know is that I'm changing (I know something's changed in me)
And I want her back again (and it happened when)

[Alternative Chorus]
I pulled back those curtains
And I let the sun in again
It's like I saw morning for the first time
And she welcomes me like a friend
And when you spend so long hurting
You can forget to believe in grace
Too many conversations with the burden
Got me crying out loud for change
[Chorus]
I pulled back those curtains
And I let the sun in again
It's like I saw morning for the first time
And she welcomes me like a friend
And when you spend so long hurting
You can forget to believe in grace
Too many conversations with the burden
Got me crying out loud for change
