Always Be Sincere

verse 1
With reluctance I've dealt with my ghosts from before
with good intentions I've brought demons from the shore
Of my sorrows cast to the sea from my tears

I've embraced and stood back and I've loved and I've left
I've held on and let go, I've been wrong but I know
that no matter what comes my way I'll be here for you

pre-chorus
The flame that's our future is more delicate than you see
With little effort it'll die and with too much it can't breath
I can't tell you how to carry this candle through your life
but I'll tell you that embers can be rekindled in time

chorus
I can help you when you've fallen to the ground
I will comfort you when your dreams have drowned
But other days I'll say what hurts to hear
And my love for you will always be sincere

verse 2
With outstreched arms I welcome you in
But when I'm in pain I'll push you away again
'Cause there are times when I'll be close and others where I'm so far away

I'll move on as I should and hold on like I couldn't
I'll have strength to realize that there's a promise in your eyes
That like my dreams you're here to stay

pre-chorus
The flame that's our future is more delicate than you see
With little effort it'll die and with too much it can't breath
I can't tell you how to carry this candle through your life
but I'll tell you that embers can be rekindled in time
