  • Someday I know that this pain will be useful
    So much can grow from the seed of a dying tree
    It creeps up on me at inopportune moments
    Hot like a song in my lungs

    Oh I'm gonna make this life good
    Even though, even though you thought I would never
    Amount to anything of value
    Watch me as I prove you wrong
    By falling, falling in love with everyone and everything I touch
    And who knew I could feel this much

    Someday I know that this pain will be useful
    And it won't look for comfort in a drink or a stranger's bed
    No more nights to undo, only nights to remember
    Little bursts of happiness instead

    Oh I'm gonna make this life good
    Even though, even though I thought I would never
    Amount to anything of value
    Watch me as I prove me wrong
    By falling, falling in love with everyone and everything I touch
    And who knew I could feel this much
    Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh, oh-ohh
    Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh, oh-ohh

    Well it's only a guess but I bet that each beautiful house has a story that moves
    Was it made by a man with a knot in his chest and unspoken truth?
    And the songs that we sing in our cars in the parking lots with our hands up high
    Are just battle cries through puffy eyes that found a place to be alive

    Someday I know that this pain will be useful
    So much can grow from the seed of a dying tree
    Leaps out of me at inopportune moments
    Too beautiful and delicate to touch
    And who knew I could feel this much
