lyrics

I've been here long enough to know
The difference between fear and hope
Oh, a little direction could help
I don't want to fall by myself
I am lost in the crowd
Like a child in another town
What if I take the wrong path?
What if I turn into half of what I'm supposed to be?
What I'm supposed to be

Oh, I turn to a stranger
To fix the tear at the seams
So don't be alarmed if my heart isn't right.
It's only a matter of time

I think it's fair for me to say
That the last few years haven't gone my way
Oh, a little direction could help
I don't want to feel how I've felt
I've been stuck in the ground
From the tidal wave that knocked me down
For so many years I had solely given my all to this one thing
That I lost a sense of me
I lost a sense of me

Now I turn to a stranger
To point me in the other way
So don't be alarmed if I can't see the light
It's only a matter of time

Oh I look for answers
I'm better off looking away
But I'm no dreamer
I'd rather run through the maze

Now I'll turn to a stranger
To help create a brand new theme
So don't be alarmed if my words don't align
It's only a matter of time
So don't be alarmed if my heart isn't right
It's only a matter of time
