lyrics

Hearts sometimes hurt yet we can’t live without them
Hearts sometimes hurt yet we can’t live without them

Floating in the breeze I’m full of fantasy
then it calls to me, Reality, Reality
Can I lift myself above the canopy and see
First tear me down to seed and grow me grow me

Hearts sometimes hurt yet we can’t live without them
Hearts sometimes hurt yet we can’t live without them

Where am I going, it starts with me
And when I get there will I be happy
I recognize the risks the passion
But the dampening of my senses is a waste, waste of my time
And it’s such precious time

Hearts sometimes hurt yet we can’t live without them, Ohhh

Flowers I’ve never seen are rising from my garden
flowers I’ve never seen, I’ve never seen, I’ve never seen.

Flowers I’ve never seen are rising from my garden
flowers I’ve never seen, I’ve never seen, I’ve never seen.

Hearts sometimes hurt yet we can’t live without them
Hearts sometimes hurt yet we can’t live without them
