Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When all you've got is not enough to get you through the day
Send love
Your candles burnt down to the wick, no fuel for a flame
Send love
And every moment showing you that nothing ever stays the same
Send love
Send love
[Verse 2]
Dreams that never had a chance, they finally let you go
Send love
Failures chalked up to happenstance, we'll never really know
Send love
Why the scars that we keep hidden are worse than what we show
Send love
Send love
[Bridge]
Send love without conditions, all transmissions
From messengers and servants
Love by air and wire, through storms and fire
Postmarked urgent
And maybe to yourself this once
To show you are deserving of
Love
[Verse 3]
All my life, I've never felt like I belonged
Send love
Every fix I came up with turned out wrong
Send love
And every moment called a gift suddenly was gone
Send love
Send love
[Verse 4]
We move so fast, we don't know where we've even been
Send love
Some lives don't so much as start before they end
Send love
And I'd give anything to have it back again
Send love
Send love
[Outro]
Send love
Send love
Send love
