Jack Carty Hope lyrics

She works real hard
And pays her bills
She try's to improve
On what she builds
She takes the hits
And bears the pain
When life is hard
Laughing in her face

Hope don't leave
When she needs you
Please don't run away too far too soon
When all is dark inside her room you're the one she holds onto

Some get luck
And a fast track there
And some are happy just where they are
But oh, I feel that there's more to me
But the dealer won't count the cards up my sleeve

Hope don't leave
When I need you
Please don't run away too far too soon

When all is dark inside my room you're the one I hold onto

You're a temptress
But I know your kind.
You whisper softly “you'll make it if you try”
And every time I fall I curse your name
But I love you so I hope you'll stay

Stupid girl
You cannot win
It's a rough and ruthless world we're in
But oh I know it's beautiful
To jump from ledges
When you know you'll fall

Hope don't leave
When we need you.
Please don't run away too far too soon.
When all is dark inside our rooms you're the one we hold onto
