Kara Hanan - Down Lyrics

Longing
Picture perfect
Gotta get it right this time
Hold it together

Till the pieces fit just right, oh
Striving, fighting
For my peace of mind
I call out

Why can't I just do things right
Do things right
I close my eyes and hold my breath
Until it all comes out

He listens to my every cry
And my every doubt
There's nothing in me that can hide
As he searches me

It's breaking me
Down
I'm laying it all down
My thoughts, my wounds, my crown

The pride I wear around
Like a badge I lay it down
If I let myself let go
His light in me can show

As I shine it all around
I'm laying it down
No use in fighting all the things that I can't control, oh
Daily surrender is something that I should get to know, oh

Running, hiding
From God's perfect timing
Can't be done, so
Why do I even try, even try

I close my eyes and hold my breath
Until it all comes out
He listens to my every cry
And my every doubt

There's nothing in me that can hide
As he searches me
It's breaking me
Down

I'm laying it all down
My thoughts, my wounds, my crown
The pride I wear around
Like a badge I lay it down

If I let myself let go
His light in me can show
As I shine it all around
I'm laying it down

Peace I give you
Peace I leave you
