  • Hmm
    Hmm-hmm
    Here I am facing myself
    Peeling away emotions I felt
    Wouldn't change a moment of my life
    So many walked through these doors
    Falling through windows to so much more
    We held onto each other to get by

    Hmm
    Hmm-hmm
    Put up a fight
    Enough is enough
    We were just kids
    Falling in love
    Trying to play a game we couldn't win
    So, where are you now?
    Where were you then?
    Do you belong?
    Have you found a true friend?
    And who you making love with along the way?

    Hmm
    Hmm-hmm
    I've been fearless
    Trying to be strong
    Yeah, I've been living on the edge
    For so long
    I've been waiting for light
    To show me the way
    Help me piece it together frame by frame
    I'm holding on
    Watching my past
    The ones that made it
    And the ones that couldn't last
    It's all right here
    I wrote it to myself

    What I wanted wasn't crazy
    All I needed was some light
