Sweet Redemption Ron Pope

Your intentions
They don't feel quite right
So you shut your eyes
And try again
Sweet redemption
Is just out of sight
Swear that you don't mind
Swear the lies again
And all you
Hold onto
Is breaking in your hands

You watch the moon receding
You swear you don't believe in nothing
It's all you ever had
You scream
But no one answers
You live on cold regret
And all you ever want is to feel free
At least that's how it seems

You used to wonder
What you had to give
Forgetting how to live
And broke your heart in my breath
All your confessions
They don't amount to much
A sweet resounding love
The kind you never had
You want to
Hold on to
Things you understand
