Heartless
I was homeless once
By once I mean just 17 days
But I often think about those days
And the many fields in which I stayed
Almost every night I moved before it got light
Because the cops knew my face here and I knew theirs
And they said, son, you can't be sleeping here
When said and done I still feel homeless inside
Things just haven't felt right since I can't remember
And I don't understand quite why
Life is heartache followed by sweet moments of regret
And I am not sure which one of those this is yet
Life is struggle followed by moments of missing home
And I don't mean the place we rest our heads
But the place we long for yet we never go
Gotta keep smiling
I don't mean fake it until you make it here
I mean, life really sucks sometimes
And a smile helps me to remember
If we could sell emotion I'd be the king of this whole earth
But what good is feeling symptoms if I don't fight to make them work
Life is anger and I take it out upon myself
When I could use all of that energy to be helping someone else
Yes, life is heartless and I forget that I am not
But I'll do my best to imagine just what I'm capable of
If I used my heart and if I opened up
By once I mean just 17 days
But I often think about those days
And the many fields in which I stayed
Almost every night I moved before it got light
Because the cops knew my face here and I knew theirs
And they said, son, you can't be sleeping here
When said and done I still feel homeless inside
Things just haven't felt right since I can't remember
And I don't understand quite why
Life is heartache followed by sweet moments of regret
And I am not sure which one of those this is yet
Life is struggle followed by moments of missing home
And I don't mean the place we rest our heads
But the place we long for yet we never go
Gotta keep smiling
I don't mean fake it until you make it here
I mean, life really sucks sometimes
And a smile helps me to remember
If we could sell emotion I'd be the king of this whole earth
But what good is feeling symptoms if I don't fight to make them work
Life is anger and I take it out upon myself
When I could use all of that energy to be helping someone else
Yes, life is heartless and I forget that I am not
But I'll do my best to imagine just what I'm capable of
If I used my heart and if I opened up
