The Answer Lyrics by NineFingers

Broken Hearts and False Starts

2020

I don't know if you were lying to me
Or were just lying to yourself
Or if you're still out there lying
Or just lying with someone else
I don't know if you made a smart decision
Or just acted out of fear
I don't know if you really loved me
Or just needed someone near
I don't know if you wish that I would call you
Or you're glad that I don't try
I don't know if you just needed some time
Or if you think I'm the wrong guy
Because you wouldn't fucking tell me
You just looked at me and cried
That shit kills me inside
Makes me angry with the most high
Cause hе and I we reconnectеd
It was not something expected
But I respected your perspective
And the set you represented
So I opened up my heart
Plugged direct into the sky
I asked questions of the universe
And the universe replied

It said, love is the right answer
Even when it's wrong
Love will never make you weak
It can only make you strong
Fear is not your home
So go back where you belong
Cause love is the right answer
Even when it's wrong
Love is the right answer
Even when it's wrong

I didn't expect to be positioned
To be writing compositions
About the pathways of forgiveness
And lamenting your decisions
But I'd allowed myself some visions
Of my goal posts repositioned
Of curbing my ambitions
And embracing old traditions
Like marriage
Yeah that was something that I thought of a lot
A future where we stayed committed
And I gave you my heart
But it had spent so long so broken
That the flow was all stopped
And I'm reminded of younger days
And that first time I smoked pot
How the music swirled around me
And I could pick it apart
It was a lesson that I needed to improve in my art
But I didn't have to keep on smoking once those skills were unlocked
I'd grown these new neural pathways
And had the freedom to embark
And see, my heart was just the same
It was all rusted and blocked
And loving you was what I needed for my clogged valves to unstop
And now my blood is back to flowing
I am capable of hoping
I have no sense of foreboding
Broke my chains and now I'm growing
And no I don't know where I'm going
And yes my hearts still kind of broken
But I'm now plugged into the sky
I ask why
And the universe replies

Love is the right answer
Even when it's wrong
Love will never make you weak
It can only make you strong
Fear is not your home
So go back where you belong
Cause love is the right answer
Even when it's wrong
Love is the right answer
Even when it's wrong
