paper straws Video (MV)

Emotions run like water
Drowning out the sun
Do I need to run much farther
Until I find someone
I've been called beloved
Held close in arms
But it doesn't mean it's forever
Just because they're warm
And I know it doesn't matter
I know that I'm alright
But can't somebody wonder
Can someone share a life
My soul it keeps on searching
Creation is the cause
For now I'll keep on hoping
And pulling paper straws
He'd lift weight off my shoulders
Carry me all the way home
He'd never let me cry
Or ever feel alone
And I know what I want is simple
But why is it so hard
I falter and I fail
But God's a work of art
He's careful with His timing
Each piece it has a cause
Too bad that I'm His blind child
Just waiting for the fall
My soul it keeps on searching
Creation is the cause
For now I'll keep on hoping
And pulling paper straws
And I'm trying to let go
All the soreness in my soul
Doesn't mean that I can't love again
The one thing I know
I just can't control
If it even happens
Or when
I'm not perfect
Am I worth it
Simple senses in a shell
But I'm honest
And I promise
That my heart will treat you well
Oh his daughter
She's a lover
And a fighter to a fault
Self inflicted
Loveless victim
Throwing questions up above
But I know that it seems selfish
A wish into a well
A hope that seems too helpless
Should I work on myself
I know it doesn't matter
It may be a lost cause
For now I'll keep on hoping
For now I'll keep on hoping
For now I'll keep on hoping
Somewhere he's pulling paper straws
