Hear Your Voice Again
“It’s so good to hear your voice again,” my mother said to me
“Almost twenty-five years and I was afraid you’d never let yourself be happy
But I always believed.”
You see, I’m still trying to prove to myself that I should be
And I’m not sure what I believe

“It’s so good to hear your voice again”
It’s been so long since I’ve felt anything
I’ve been hoping this med will soothe me
Just want to feel the things that they see
“You gotta believe”
You see, the wiring in my brain makes that hard for me
Is there any good left inside of me?

I’ve been trying my best to hold on
Trying to find that me they missed
Just want to hear the way my voice sounds
And find some peace in it
‘Cause everything is temporary
Shorter as these days go on
Don’t want to miss another moment
Been tired now for so long
“It’s so good to hear your voice again”
But everything makes my head spin
I want to feel some sense of progress
I’ve come so far, I’m scared I’m stopping
I want to believe
That working on myself will make it better
‘Cause I’ve been trying, but it still seems far
Will it slip away?
Can this ever change?

I’ve been trying my best to hold on
Trying to find that me they missed
Just want to hear the way my voice sounds
And find some peace in it
‘Cause everything is temporary
Shorter as these days go on
Don’t want to miss another moment
Been tired now for so long

Been tired now for so long
But learning how to lick my wounds
I’m finding strength to push on
And it’s so good, it’s so good
Been tired now for so long
As the clock pours salt from my wounds
I’m finding ways to push on
And it’s so good, it’s so…
I’ve been trying my best to hold on
Trying to find that me they missed
Just want to hear the way my voice sounds
And find some peace in it
‘Cause everything is temporary
Shorter as these days go on
Don’t want to miss another moment
Been tired now for so long
