Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.<br /> -Haruki Murakami


[intro] For all your broken dreams I have no remedy

For all your torn up seams I have no cure
But for your shattered beams of light you cannot see
I have some words, don’t walk out the door.

Instrumental

[verse] And you
You can’t get away
From this monster any day
And you
You’ve nothing left to say
But you say it anyway.

[pre-chorus] And the walls that bind your heart don’t chase
They’ll never fight to stay in place
They’ll never stop to beat you down
But you can beat them to the ground

So…
[chorus] If you let me
If I show you
What life, it has in store for you
Will you now see
What you should do
What light can say is always true

Instrumental

Mmmmmmm…

[bridge] (in speech) So dear Someone,
I hope you read this someday
And I hope you realize this shattered blue of one day
Will come to claim your soul and shame your role
In a society where there are no riots
Against what is wrong in the world, so this song is unfurled
See, we have a nonexclusive harmony that makes us misfits family
So somebody out there harming me will never end up happily
And listen to the lyrics of the music that I sing and all the
People I rejoice over and the voices that will ring
Will always be with me, so sing together quickly
‘Cause the walls that bind my heart are looking kind of sickly
But the music stays the same as it was when we were kids
And these great unfinished majesties will never… stop… this!
So…

[chorus] Dear Someone
If you let me
I will show you
What life, it has in store for you
Will you now see
What you should do
What light can say is always true

[pre-chorus] And the walls that bind your heart don’t chase
They’ll never fight to stay in place
They’ll never stop to beat you down
But you can beat them to the ground

[bridge] (Voice II) And broken wings can always fly away!

Short instrumental

[refrain] Dear Someone
If you let me
I will show you
What life, it has in store for you
Will you now see
What you should do
What light can say is always…

True.

Short instrumental


The author's comments:

I wrote this for my [significant other] to sing and for me to play on the piano. He's in choir and always looking for something to share his voice, and I'm always looking for something to play. He can't write, but I can, and I chose to write this for the two of us.
