I've been looking for love in all the wrong places,
Looking for hope in any one of these faces,
Trying to find myself where I was not
Seeking to find everything that I'd lost.
I'm worthless, toxic, lowlier than the rest,
Trying to give it all, but my worst is my best
And now I stand here on the edge
Leaning farther at the razor's edge
Trying to find a way out
Show me the love I once knew
Show me the power of the cross
That drew me to your heart
Show me the word of truth
And help me find the love that I lost
Hiding in the corner of my heart
Is a lost and lonely girl, tearing herself apart.
She cries a lonely night, her tears falling by
Never knowing what the dawn will bring.
A dark and fearful shadow falls upon her form
As the nightmare deepens in her faded, broken heart.
And as she lays there in the ashes,
Broken and bleeding,
She finds her escape again in the dark
Show me the love I once knew
Show me the power of the cross
That drew me to your heart
Show me the word of truth
And help me find the love that I lost
Is there anyone who hears me?
Is there anyone who cares
That this lost and lonely child is falling in despair?
Is there a hand that she can hold to
Or a face that she can run to
When the nightmare fills her night
And the day light runs away?
Show me the love I once knew (show me the love)
Show me the power of the cross
that drew me to your heart (to your heart)
Show me the word of truth
And help me find the love I lost
Show me
Heal me
Break me open again
Show me
Move me
Show me your face again...
Can anybody hear me, in the darkness of my own heart?
ReplyDeleteCan anybody see me, tearing and ripping myself apart?
Send me down to purgatory, to a land filled with lessons learned,
And endings earned,
And leave me there to suffer,
Suffer the ends of my own means.
Is there anything more, more than this misery?
And is there anything less, less than infamy?
I'm back where I was,
Back in the endless night
Back in this pointless fight,
With only myself to blame.
I can see the sunrise from a distance,
Watch it shine on that happy valley,
Watch it's warm rays fill that place,
Never to reach my face,
And I kiss the shackles I have bound myself in,
And let the lone tear fall in good bye.
