Branden On - A Hope in January Lyrics

I can't help but feel like I'm holding you down
And I wonder why you even keep me around
I sleep in your bed and I eat all your bread and I
Feel like I don't deserve your love
I know it's been hard the past month or few
And for us the struggle is nothing new
Seems you can't work enough then my hours get cut and I
Feel like I'm not pulling my weight

Maybe I can't pay the bills in love
But I promise never to give up
As long, as long as you're
Beside me
Maybe I'm crazy and maybe I'm mad
But I've never wanted something this bad
As long, as long as you're
Beside me
Though I'm broke and a no one right now
I know I can make it somehow
As long as you're there along the way

I know the going's slow when I'm writing my songs
I throw most of them out cause they just feel wrong
But if I can connect to just one person's head, well
Isn't that worth it in the long run?
This is how I make the world a better place
By sharing the beauty I hear in every space
A bird call and waves clashing
Pianos and cymbals crashing
I want you to hear what I hear

Maybe I can't pay the bills in love
But I promise never to give up
As long, as long as you're
Beside me
Maybe I'm crazy and maybe I'm mad
But I've never wanted something this bad
As long, as long as you're
Beside me
Though I'm broke and a no one right now
I know I can make it somehow
As long as you're there along the way

The world wants to break me
And believe me, they want to break you too
They wanna guilt you into living with regret
Then sell whatever antidote right back to you
I've never seen it work before
And I don't expect to be the first one cured
So I'll take my chances and bet on myself
After all, what have I got to lose?

Maybe I can't pay the bills in love
But I promise never to give up
As long, as long as you're
Beside me
Maybe I'm crazy and maybe I'm mad
But I've never wanted something this bad
As long, as long as you're
Beside me
Maybe I'm crazy and maybe I'm mad
But I've never wanted something this bad
As long, as long as you're
Beside me
Though I'm broke and a no one right now
I know I can make it somehow
As long as you're there along the way
