Duration: P00H03M45S
Description: A reflection on lessons learned after divorce, trying to convince myself that everything will turn out in the end despite many fears, frustrations, setbacks, and breakdowns.

lyrics

my ripe cherry chest has a hard pit in the middle
if you split me open, please don't throw it away
I need to plant some new seeds, that will grow into some new trees
with blossoms soft and open and more new fruit on the way

I’ve learned so many things since we took off the wedding rings
like how to leap and make a brand new start
and I’m clinging to a faith that everything will be ok
and I will find love, even stumbling in the dark

my crystal bracelet daydreams are hanging by a thread now
if it snaps the beads will scatter around my boots and roll away
if I keep calm I can collect them and string them back together
and it may not be the same but they can sparkle a new way

I’ve learned so many things since we took off the wedding rings
like how to pay the rent by working hard
and I’m clinging to a faith that everything will be ok
and I will find love, even stumbling in the dark

car batteries die, guitar strings break
I wonder if everything is just a mistake

But I’ve learned so many things since we took off the wedding rings
like how to grieve but keep an open heart
and I’m clinging to a faith that everything will be ok
and I will find love, even stumbling in the dark

I’m clinging to a faith that everything will be ok
and I will find love, even stumbling in the dark
