Dear Hope - Sara Bareilles

Read a book on Hemingway

Closed my eyes to see

The man himself appeared to say

To write is just to bleed

So I will write it down, all the jagged edges

The ugliness I’ve seen

Until I change the truth, rearrange the letters

For beauty underneath

Dear Hope

If you can hear me, don’t go

I don’t feel you now, but I know you’re there

Dear Hope

I could really use you now

Throw me a rope

Throw me a rope

Dear Hope

I can’t seem to shake it yet, feeling that

Things may never change

It always breaks my heart when broken parts

Ache to heal again

So I will write it down and make jagged edges

Into something I can hold

Don’t wanna lose my way

Like dear Hemingway

So I won’t let go

Dear Hope

If you can hear me, don’t go

I don’t feel you now, but I know you’re there

Dear Hope

I could really use you now

Throw me a rope

Throw me a rope

Throw me a rope

Throw me a rope

Dear Hope

Dear Hope
