lyrics

Oh don’t be so quick to accept that you’re wrong
And never assume you'll be missed when you’re gone
The good ones will wait, the rest will move on
No matter their reasons, be kind.

Oh don’t blame bad fortune for choices you’ve made
You’ll come to find peace in a moment of grace
Still I believe that we all can be saved
And patience will come in due time

All of the people that raised you up
Those who have told you "you are enough"
Who gave you love when you asked for luck
Hold those ones closely

So bless your heart
And pray in this moment of silence
And stay with me one more day
Bless your heart
This pain all of this violence will
One day soon fade away

A heart filled with anger, a head full of hurt
Will make you a victim a prisoner or worse
I’ve hated and blamed but none of it works
That man ain't a friend to no one

Don’t try escaping the hands of regret
Or pleasing the people that couldn’t care less
If only my failures could help you and yet
No that’s not how living is done

All of the heartache - just wasted time
Fighting for something that never has mine
Missing the love right in front of my eyes
Hold those ones closely

So bless your heart
And pray in this moment of silence
And stay with me one more day
Bless your heart
This pain and all of this violence will
Wash away in the rain

All of the people that raised you up
Those who have told you "you are enough"
Who gave you love when you asked for luck?
Hold those ones closely
