This Is Not Like You

Verse 1:
In your darkest hour on the darkest night, when you’ve lost all hope and want to take your life.
Play this song and listen close, I pray these words will give you hope.
I know this world can crush your dreams, break your heart, everything between,
Just remember it’s a passing phase, that someday soon these clouds will fade.
Chorus:
And you know that this is not like you and you know that this is not like you to lose hope cause even cut diamonds come from coal.
Verse 2:
I know it’s hard to hang in tight, when the worlds a monster and the pain is high.
You're broke and lonely and far from home, it doesn’t matter what exit you’re always alone.
Your achy and distraught, you’re a levee at breech, you’re a broken thought an empty seat.
I know that words can only go so far, that nothing I say can make it less hard.
Chorus:
And you know that this is not like you, and you know that this is not like you to contend but even bad chapters have an end.
Verse 3:
Cause I know you’re alone lost in the web, discarded by time and distanced from friends.
You’ve lost all hope of happier times, your future looks bleak and your dreams are behind.
I don’t know if I’ve said to much, if I’ve gone to far or not enough
But know these words are sung for you, I know you’re alone but it’s not the truth.
(chorus)
And you know that this is not like you, and you know that this is not like you to lose faith, but every now and then we lose our way…and that’s OK.
