I told a lie could you tell me why? Heavy sigh You gotta help me die Cord of sin You said you'd cut it. Can you tell me when? Jesus, kiss Come and collect me for eternal bliss Though it's against your nature to be impolite Would You please break into my heart tonight and steal away my fear? Cause it's my nature to just sit and guard it Though the prison doors open, I'm afraid to depart it I'm stuck right here You gotta get me clear I hear a word Somebody says something that I know is absurd But I give it room Now, inside the greenhouse of my heart I got a deady bloom My fist 'round a rose My hands all bloody from the thorns there, I suppose But I don't let go Sometimes I'm a coward. I try not to let it show Though it's against your nature to be impolite Would You please break into my heart tonight and steal away my fear? Cause it's my nature to just sit and guard it Though the prison doors open, I'm afraid to depart it I'm stuck right here You gotta get me clear
