Heaven bent to take my hand

And lead me through the fire

Be the long awaited answer

To a long and painful fight



Truth be told I've tried my best

But somewhere along the way

I got caught up in all there was to offer

And the cost was so much more than I could bear



* (Though I've tried) I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I have messed up

Better I should know

So don't come round here

And tell me I told you so



We all begin with good intent

Love was raw and young

We believed that we could change ourselves

THe past could be undone

But we carry on our backs the burden

Time always reveals

The lonely light of morning

The wound that would not heal

It's the bitter taste of losing everything

That I have held so dear



[Repeat *]



Heaven bent to take my hand

Nowhere left to turn

I'm lost to those I thought were friends

To everyone I know

Oh they turned their heads embarassed

Pretend that they don't see

But it's one missed step

You'll slip before you know it

And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed



[Repeat * , *]
