DM Kel - False/Hope Lyrics

Hope's a foolish thing, they say
A fleeting dream that fades away
But here I am, holding tight
To something lost, to fading light
I curse the stars, I curse the night
For keeping hope within my sight
Why can't I just let it go
Why does this fire still burn slow
I hate myself for holding on
To hope that lingers when you're gone
It's a cruel joke, a twisted game
To chase the light that won't remain
But even as the darkness grows
And every reason fades and goes
I still believe, I still confess
That hope, somehow, knows best
You've moved on, found your peace
While I'm here, torn piece by piece
Hope's a poison, sweet and slow
It keeps me chained when I should go
I tell myself it's all a lie
But still I look up to the sky
Searching for a sign, a spark
In the endless, aching dark
I hate myself for holding on
To hope that lingers when you're gone
It's a cruel joke, a twisted game
To chase the light that won't remain
But even as the darkness grows
And every reason fades and goes
I still believe, I still confess
That hope, somehow, knows best
You've moved on, found your peace
While I'm here, torn piece by piece
Hope's a poison, sweet and slow
It keeps me chained when I should go
I tell myself it's all a lie
But still I look up to the sky
Searching for a sign, a spark
In the endless, aching dark
I hate myself for holding on
To hope that lingers when you're gone
It's a cruel joke, a twisted game
To chase the light that won't remain
But even as the darkness grows
And every reason fades and goes
I still believe, I still confess
That hope, somehow, knows best
So here I am, with hope in hand
A foolish heart that doesn't understand
Why can't I just let it be
Why does hope still live in me
I hate myself for this, it's true
But hope's the last thing I have of you
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
