Happy Endings

This world seems so cruel
And this life seems so damn hard
Been looking at this hand
There is no peace with these cards
My eyes feel so heavy
And this heart feels so broken
The words seem to fail me
Then they're all left unspoken

I had dreams as a boy
That seemed like ages ago
I thought I would find love
Now I don't know where to go
I've been through a divorce
Left me full of resentment
I'm not asking for much
Just a little contentment

But after all the tears
And after all of the pain
When I'm soaked to the bone
And left standing in the rain
My soul still rests easy
I am filled with so much peace
Hope still springs eternal
Forever failing to cease

My hope still lies with God
And the promise that He gives
It fills me with such joy
Always knowing that his love lives
My story is written
This heart of mine is mending
The plot's full of heartache
I still believe,
in happy endings
