"Arrows" lyrics

I looked for love but was so blind to what it meant
I painted pictures out of lies in selfishness
You showed me things I never thought I'd see
'Cause I believed there wasn't hope for me
Abandoned love but then your love discovered me

I sought escape now, I only seek embrace
Allow myself to take in space
Grace an honest case of heartache turned to blessing
You know how I used to burn slow, clinging to the hurt
So deep inside my soul
So hard to let it go

I looked for love but was so blind to what it meant
I painted pictures out of lies in selfishness
You showed me things I never thought I'd see
'Cause I believed there wasn't hope for me
Abandoned love but then your love discovered me

You changed the pace now
Looked me in my face
Somehow felt something different
Take, take is all I know
Confessing that's when you said
"Let go just enjoy the brief glow"
Brought to me a peace, still, deep inside my soul
I wanna let it grow

I looked for love but was so blind to what it meant
I painted pictures out of lies in selfishness
You showed me things I never thought I'd see
'Cause I believed there wasn't hope for me
Abandoned love but then your love discovered me

My heart it stirred, I heard your words
Shaking off the dust, reimagined what I was
Head gone so long, writing bitter songs
Keeping my old haunts, and making misery my home

But how we grow, we change with love
And I watch you show, all the beauty in your soul
My heart it stirred, I heard your words
Shaking off the dust, reimagined what I was
And how we grow, we change with love
And I watch you show, all the beauty in your soul

I looked for love but was so blind to what it meant
I painted pictures out of lies in selfishness
You showed me things I never thought I'd see
'Cause I believed there wasn't hope for me
Abandoned love but then your love discovered me
