Streamline - The Only Thing That Matters lyrics

rate me

I watched as you rushed out the door and into the rain

Leaving crowded conversation, lacking comfort therein

And fearing you'd succumb to grief and be swept away

I followed in your footsteps and trailed in your wake

So you'd know, you're not alone

Then you fell into my arms and cried out between sobs

You said 'why did this have to happen?' and 'why couldn't it be stopped?'

And staring through the darkness and into your face I said,

'my dear there are some things that no one can change'

But know you're not alone

just tell me you know that you're not alone

when everything around you begins to tumble down

and the world starts tasting sour, as surely it is bound to

I know it isn't easy but don't you give up on me

Always remember this, cause it's the only thing that matters at all…

No one said it's easy

Letting go, accepting

When you're hoping that it might change

And clinging to the memories

You say, 'I'm not a strong girl, and it's alright,

But I don't think that I take this much more'

I say, 'I feel the same way, but it's alright

Just stay in my arms and

tell me you know

you're not alone

just tell me you know

you're not alone

when everything around you begins to tumble down

and the world starts tasting sour, as surely it is bound to

I know it isn't easy but don't you give up on me

Always remember this, cause it's the only thing that matters at all…

That you hold on, hold on, just hold on

Well just Hold your breath and look out the window

Know the clouds won't hang forever

seasons always change, eventually

and as tortured thoughts scream out like a banshee

drain your hope and tear at your valor

think of what I said and promise me

you'll hold on…

Now breathe again with eyes out the window,

watch the clouds start to dissolve

replacing grief with a thousand memories

feel it coming back again

forcing all the wounds to mend

and patching all the holes punched in your life,

and making it alright

when everything around you begins to tumble down

and the world starts tasting sour, as surely it is bound to

I know it isn't easy but don't you give up on me

And always know that you are not alone…
