Lyrics I'd Like To Think - Schmidt

Something has been awaked
I feel it deep within my bones
It's building strength within me
To take control
Or so I'm told

I won't believe that you might take me
You'd like to think that you could
My gloves are off
I'll come out swinging
Don't ever tell me the odds
I'd like to see your best shot

This fire raging in me
Will burn down all that it may touch
I'll go out in a blaze of glory
You will fade silently to dust

I won't give you my permission
My body's mine to command
I need to feel like I can fight this
I'd like to think that I can
I'd like to think that I can

Wait! Just wait
Why can't we just live together?
Why? Oh, why?
There's room for both of us to stay here

We could live like they do on TV
With tape across the floor
You take your things
I'll keep mine
In this imperfect harmony

I'm still down here with my shadow
Somehow both sodden and hollow
I can't remember what it felt like
Without the weight of this load

I'd like to think I made a difference
Was I good?
Was anything unsaid?
I wish that I could say that I have no regrets
But there is no time left

Forget today and turn away
From that light up ahead
Soon, my pain, it will end
From here on, I'm on my own
So I wish you the best
Your pain, too, it will pass

The love you gave will never fade
I'd like to think that it can't
And so, I'll leave you with that
They say that life will find a way
I'd like to think that it has

They say that life
It finds a way
I'd like to think that it has
I'd like to think that it has
Now I see that it has
Now I see
