Run you coward, you run
|
These words crippled my confidence
|
The hymn I can't escape from
|
This is over and done with
|
This race has made me more than weary, I am dead
|
|
I created everything here that I wanted to see
|
So was that your plan, to leave me out?
|
We were all reciting messages and pushing repeat
|
But this world you made does it let you breath
|
|
Does it let you feel anything but yourself?
|
When was the last time
|
Does it let you breathe?
|
Does it let you feel anything but yourself?
|
When was the last time you saw anyone else?
|
|
Whispers and echoes of love fading
|
The plans you made, you wanted it
|
The bitter taste, you wanted it
|
What god became you wanted it
|
But the one thing you need you'll never get
|
|
There was more of you and less of me
|
You blamed it on the chemistry
|
Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
|
It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
|
|
They were just calendar days
|
I'm sure it's all written down
|
But if you'll let me just ask
|
Is this how you bring the crowd to their feet?
|
You hurt because it wasn't about you
|
About me?
|
You're always scared the floor is gonna give way
|
I call the shots
|
We could end this, we could end this
|
Don't you ever tell me what I've got
|
|
Whispers and echoes of love fading
|
The plans you made, you wanted it
|
The bitter taste, you wanted it
|
What god became you wanted it
|
But the one thing you need you'll never get
|
|
There was more of you and less of me
|
You blamed it on the chemistry
|
Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
|
It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
|
I wanted, I wanted, I wanted, I wanted this
|
|
You made it such a lonely world (Blessed assurance)
|
Such a very lonely world
|
You bent the answers into questions (Jesus is mine)
|
You let the voice go unheard
|
And you couldn't trust yourself (O, what a foretaste)
|
Cause what if everything you felt
|
Meant this was not yours alone (of glory divine!)
|
|
Every single word, every single little word that was said (Heir of salvation)
|
And all the simple fears (purchase of God)
|
And all the nights that you cried in your bed
|
Hoping I was there but you told yourself (born of His Spirit)
|
You're old and alone
|
But you were never the widow you left on your own (washed in His blood)
|
|
I was washed in the blood
|
I was born of a spirit but I drowned
|
When you found me out there
|
Rejoice, Rejoice the old King is dead
|
Long live the new king
|
I am the new king
|
|
Whispers and echoes of love fading
|
The plans you made, you wanted it
|
The bitter taste, you wanted it
|
What god became you wanted it
|
But the one thing you need you'll never get
|
|
There was more of you and less of me
|
You blamed it on the chemistry
|
Can you close your eyes when you rest your head?
|
It didn't have to be this way but you wanted it
