Well I thought that I could reach you
But you're always scared
Holding onto walls you shouldn't cling to
Filling the air
With the lies in the fold
A story you told
Nothing changed, rearranged, details unsold
Thought that I could reach you
But you're always scared
I'll try to be honest
This time I'm true
I'll hold my hand to Jesus and sing how you do
I'll hold my head high
And sing through the night
I'll walk this path of righteousness in spite of you
Steps on the beaten path
Show me where not to go
And maybe this road's desolate but I
Finally found my home
With the lies in the fold
A story you told
Nothing changed, rearranged, details unsold
Thought that I could reach you
But you're always scared
I'll try to be honest
This time I'm true
I'll hold my hand to Jesus and sing how you do
I'll hold my head high
And sing through the night
I'll walk this path of righteousness in spite of you
I spoke to you again today
You told me I'd find my way
You heard my voice was shaking
I feel it in my chest
And when my heart was breaking you said it's just a test
And you show me the way home
When I don't know where to go
And I may not always be present
I'll blame it on my past
Sick of healing this pain
Dreams of running away
But you keep me coming back
As a matter of fact I've got something to say
And I hope you stay around
Cuz I love it
And I need it
And I need you more than ever
Please don't
Let me fall by the wayside
