Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm so tired, it hurts
So tired I don't know what to call it
Still, I put on my shirt
Feel around for my wallet
I fumble to the door and I slowly turn the handle
As I think about whatever it is
That keeps me awake, that's keeping me in motion
As I step out into the abyss
[Chorus]
'Cause a new day
Starts in the dark
A new flame sometimes starts
With a broken heart
[Verse 2]
I remember you, I was on the porch
You were in the front yard
Fumbling the keys, you sat down in the seat
And you started the car
How was I to know it? You know I couldn't know it
How could I have known it then?
I didn't see it coming, you never see it coming
But I, I never saw you again
[Chorus]
But a new day
Starts in the dark
A new flame sometimes starts
With a broken heart
And I don't know how
I don't know how hard this is gonna get
But if everything is changing
And you and I are changing, then we're standing in whatever it is
[Chorus]
'Cause a new day
Starts in the dark
A new flame sometimes starts
With a broken heart
[Bridge]
There's not a light outside your window
It doesn't mean that it's the end, though
So don't give up on me right now
If I've got a fire to burn the night down
[Chorus]
'Cause a new day
Starts in the dark
A new flame sometimes starts
With a broken heart
And I don't know how
I don't know how hard this is gonna get
But if everything is changing
And you and I are changing, then we're standing in whatever it is
[Outro]
'Cause a new day
Starts in the dark
A new flame sometimes starts
With a broken heart
A new day
Starts in the dark
A new flame sometimes starts
With a broken heart
