I’m a boy, feeling so disgraceful

Love’s a force that’s unavoidable

I’m jobless, drowning in this pain

High hopes are debts I can’t sustain

You could throw me that stink-eye

Forget my birthday, let it slide

Cuss my ancestors, curse my name

And I’d still look your way the same

You move in slow-mo

Like a shimmering rainbow

They say love is dead, that’s what they said

But you make me believe instead

Hope

Can’t live without it

A half-dead boy like me wouldn’t even exist

Without the light of hope to persist

Lying in bed, still feels so sweet

Lonely moments, yet incomplete

I keep on dreaming, but it’s all so clear

This empty room just whispers you’re near

Just want a taste of your affection

Blinded by how you say my name, that connection

And now, love arrives, unexpected, untamed

A feeling so pure, nothing feels the same

So I'll hold on, let this moment unfold

Through the pain, through the cold

Hope’s the fire that keeps me whole

And with you, love’s a story yet to be told.
