[a verse 1]

h+llo, dearest isabella
by the time you read this, i may no longer be alive
though it’s but a distant memory
your mother once was my first wife
are you surprised?

[b verse 1]

you may never have known of my existence ++ just as well
my position would have been a stranger after all

[a verse 2]

i was in the dark about you
never told that you’d been given life
and were not mine
a perfect stranger bore the news to me ++
unanswerеd questions that flooded my mind
werе washed aside

[b verse 2]

everything went black the very moment you arrived
by the grace of something
i somehow managed to stay alive
[pre+chorus 1]

it should’ve never come as much of a surprise
that your life and mine would somehow coincide

[chorus 1]

it’s not crazy when you look at you and i
from far away, we’ve shared illuminating light
on all the pain that you were given at the time

[tag 1]

at our worst, we begin
at our worst, we begin

[a verse 3]

i sometimes wonder if i’ll meet you
or if a second hand will tell you lies
about our lives
whatever happens, happens to you
if i could offer just one piece of advice
pay no mind, and just live your life

[b verse 3]
don’t forget to breathe
and take moments to watch the sky
you can be anything you let yourself
if you just try
be graceful, darling, be a shining ray of light
you’re in this heart of mine

[chorus 2]

it’s insane to think that you will go through life
with missing pieces
on which identities are defined
i sometimes ask myself: “why do i care? oh, why?”

[tag 2]

just the words still sting
what’s the worst that could happen?

[bridge]

the thing about truth is that it doesn’t have to rhyme;
fiction’s wrapped up in a box with loose ends tied
imagination simply imitates real life
when it’s passed you by
oh, there’s never time
[chorus 3]

who will save you when you’re falling through thin ice?
who will take you everywhere you’ve dreamt at night?
all i wish for you is patience and the time
for the words and strength
for the words and strength
who will take your wings and give you the gift of flight?
when the moments blind you, trust your heart ++ it’s right
forever vacant through no fault of yours or mine

[tag 3 / outro]

as my words wear thin
keep the doors open for forgiveness in the end
