How Little We Know

I'd never flown so high

I'd never fallen so low

But it's all in our minds

the places we go

 

And I held on to you

Like a branch that was blowing away

But it's up to us to choose

when we stay

 

Words can break us

but hands can heal

and hearts can find another home

And with each year

we learn again

how little we know about love

 

When I was blown apart

you put my pieces back in the wrong place

But we cannot decide

the memories that get erased

 

And I am finding day by day

that I am not my mistakes

Cause when it all falls away

we are the love that we create

 

Words can break us

but hands can heal

and hearts can find another home

And with each year

we learn again

how little we know about love

 

I thought you'd fallen from the stars

In your eyes, my thoughts came undone

But when you lose yourself completely

you haven't truly won

 

And I will soon find my way

on a path that I have made

To be young is to fall too fast

to run unafraid

 

Words can break us

but hands can heal

and hearts can find another home

And with each year

we learn again

how little we know about love
