This track delves into the emotional aftermath of a toxic relationship. It captures the essence of heartbreak, regret, and self-realization. The lyrics depict a protagonist who was so infatuated that they mistook their longing and desperation for love – hence, the title "Hope". The song reflects on how this hope blinded them to the reality of their situation, leading them to endure lies and emotional lows. As they grow older and wiser, they realize that what they thought was love was just an illusion – a desperate hope for something more. This realization brings both pain and empowerment, as it signifies an important step in moving forward from past mistakes.
Hope
Lyrics
I would have walked through fire to kiss your lips
Do you still think about it, of what you did?
Still see your old apartment, like a bad trip
Wish I could forget all the places we've been
Hard and heavy whiskey goodbyes
Boy, you know how to make a girl cry
Was sleeping in a bed full of lies
And now that I'm older, I can see why
You made me feel high
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
You only seemed tall
'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
Now that I know
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope
Hope
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope
Always another bender, I lose control
I thought I'd get it back when
You came back home to me, darling
But I never had it, did I? Your heart's a trick
And all the magic we felt was just a hit
Hard and heavy whiskey goodbyes
Boy, you know how to make a girl cry
Was sleeping in a bed full of lies
And now that I'm older, I can see why
You made me feel high
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
You only seemed tall
'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
Now that I know (now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope
('Cause you had me so low)
Hope
(Now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
You only seemed tall
'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
Now that I know (now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope
