Make a Spark - Jamie Drake

Why does it hurt so much to decide to be happy

Sheltered heart and shell-shocked mind makes it difficult

To unwind

I am hiding in the dark and I’m afraid to make a spark

How can I make a work of art if I’m a coward with my heart

Made my bed when I finally said that it’s over

What I didn’t know is that life would be so damn hard

These lights go out when the fear and the doubt overtake me

Losing sight of your own heart is impossible to disregard

I am lying in the dark and I’m afraid I’ll make a spark

How can I make a work of art if I’m a coward with my heart

I’ve been wrong before

I don’t want to be wrong again

I guess I am keeping score

What’s a girl to do

Father time will win again

Is this the end

I am hiding in the dark, afraid I’ll make a spark

But there’s a fire in my heart

I am crying in the dark

I just want to make a spark

How I can I be a work of art

If I’m a coward with my heart
