lyrics

Please be ready, this part is going to sting
I’ve got to tell you everything that I believe in
And the reasons why I’m leaving
Please forgive me, you had no way to know
That I’d rather be alone tonight
Then have this fight in fifteen years
To save us from these tears
And I tried so hard, I tried to hold it back

Like a dam broke, like a bridge fell
I destroyed you as I wished you well
And I can’t give in to the world again
No not this time
Like a flare gun, like a spotlight
Like a ball of fire in the dead of night
I can’t hide what I believe
My God is the one God for me

Please believe me, this was so hard to do
I still remind myself at times that he can see us
And I hope that you find Jesus
Don’t be sorry, you have done nothing wrong
And I’d rather sing a lonely song
Than give my praise in a selfish way
And fail to obey
And I tried so hard, I tried to hold it back

Like a dam broke, like a bridge fell
I destroyed you as I wished you well
And I can’t give in to the world again
No not this time
Like a flare gun, like a spotlight
Like a ball of fire in the dead of night
I can’t hide what I believe
My God is the one God for me

If I hurt you then I’m sorry
I will still feel sick in the morning
But I can’t hide what you’re doing to me
