This song in a way is a response to when you know someone doesn’t understand what you’re going through and the only way to understand is walking in your shoes and carrying the weight themselves.
Lyrics:
Whatever this is – however broken,
Was it worth falling from heaven high?
Whatever I am – however much is left,
Was it worth the way I now survive?
And if you must call it a blessing
Take my place. You carry it all.
Feel the fury for what should’ve been.
A future my mind never saw.
Is there joy? Is there love?
Is any good felt deeply enough?
The far distance of want from will…
This human hope is hard to kill.
But if you must call it a blessing
Mend my faith. You answer the call.
Offer the mercy there should’ve been.
A rescue from the depths of my fall.
I wish I hadn’t made it.
I swear I’ve had my fill.
But the far distance of want from will…
This human hope is hard to kill.
