I'm falling, you're stalling
we can't move through life just crawling
you're taking, I'm breaking
don't accept the pain we're making
Believe it, receive it
you probably can't retrieve it
mistreat me, don't greet me
cut down the strings that lead me
I've walked away before
to turn around my life
to try and make things right
learn not to twist the knife
If I say what's on my mind
you'll take it the wrong way
if I keep it all inside
we'll last another day
The things that you believe
won't scar me anymore
if you say what's on your mind
I'm walking out the door
We haven't grown apart
just fallen through the cracks
we'll make it back somehow
we'll rebuild what we lack
CHORUS:
Shame before me
blame ignore me
I'll face them both today
peace surround you
release has found you
you'll need them both one day
too tired to talk
too tired to think
help me pray the boat won't sink
the anchor is dropped
the rope my prop
the pathway is long with nowhere to stop
I don't believe that you don't believe me
if your eyes are closed then how can you see me?
walking in circles will get you nowhere
everyone knows that life isn't fair
I realize that the past is gone now
wish I could have changed things somehow
walking the path that takes me back home
each day makes me feel like my life is on hold
Whatever you say won't effect me today
the rope that's been holding me down is much too frayed
I'm turned inside out with the failure I feel
I've lost all my sight of what's fake and what's real
Our story's been told and time has run out
we waited too long to write ourselves out
the puzzle is shattered and pieces lay scattered about
a fitting end to a tiring day
Shame before me
blame ignore me
I'll face them both today
peace surround you
release has found you
you'll need them both one day
too tired to talk
too tired to think
help me pray the boat won't sink
the anchor is dropped
the rope my prop
my life will go on if I never stop
