So you want to complain now
Darlin’ let me show you how
To do it right
You say such inappropriate things
Honey I don’t know just what you mean
Anymore

Seems just like some nights ago
You finally saw the light and so
I thought you would come back to your senses
But before I could just take it in
You’d gone and then begun again
Before I could complete my sentence, yeah

You’ve just gotta stay with me
I don’t know just what’s to be, but babe
You’ve just gotta go with me
I love you so, oh can’t you see, I’m waitin”?
But babe, look what you’ve done to me
How can you go on hurting me?
I’m pleadin’ babe

Maybe if we calm right down
And look this problem right straight on
In it’s face
But could you change? Would you blame me?
Would you stay the same? Who’s to say?
I don’t know anyway

You’ve just gotta stay with me
I don’t know just what’s to be, but babe
You’ve just gotta go with me
I love you so, oh can’t you see, I’m waitin”?
But babe, look what you’ve done to me
How can you go on hurting me?
I’m pleadin’ babe

Ha Ha! Ha Ha! I was tryin’ to fool myself
Ha Ha! Ha Ha! I was tryin’ to fool myself

Babe, look what you’ve done to me
How can you go on hurting me?
I’m pleadin’ babe

Why do I have to hurt so much?
When will I feel complete again?
How long should I ache and wait for to say that you need me to?

My demeanor has been altered
I’m sure they notice
My heart has struggled to be strong and
I feel I’m becoming callous
My hopes keep on rising thinking that you’ll come soon
And take back these words that tore my soul
But my mind is wiser, and I know
It’s something you cannot do, I say…

Why do I have to hurt so much?
When will I feel complete again?
How long should I ache and wait for to say that you need me to?

When you walked into that room
My mind started making conclusions and
When you looked into my eyes
Suddenly all those lies went through me, and I
I could see, staggering, I was paralyzed by the
Evil you hid so far from me, so far from me
Now I see clearly. So tell me…

Why do I have to hurt so much?
When will I feel complete again?
How long should I ache and wait for to say that you need me to?

And I don’t know why I sit and think of you
And I don’t know why I waste my time
I don’t know why I do, and
I don’t know why I waste my time
I don’t know why

Why do I have to hurt so much?
When will I feel complete again?
How long should I ache and wait for to say that you need me to?

He stops, turns as he humbly bows
As he points to a heaven he doesn’t know
He stops, turns as he humbly bows
As he points to a heaven he doesn’t know
He stops, turns as he humbly bows
As he points to a heaven he doesn’t know

The angels sing a song to me tonight
They keep me safe
They hold me tight
Oh, oh, oh…

You, you, you misused
You, you, you abused
You, you, you misused
His Holy grace, yeah

The angels sing a song to me tonight
They keep me safe
They hold me tight
Oh, oh, oh…

Carelessly you carried His candle
You dropped it
Now all the cathedral’s in flames
The only thing that remains
Is the shadow of your face
And your faulty embrace it still holds me

And when you awake I won’t be gone
I’ll be right there
Oh, oh, oh…

The angels sing a song to me tonight
They keep me safe
They hold me tight
The angels sing a song to me tonight
They keep me safe
They hold me tight
Oh, oh, oh…

Like a dove with broken wings
You're too hurt to fly
For the answers that you seek
Aren't found inside your mind

It's your heart that holds the key
To the heart of one divine
For the keeper of your dreams
Is the author of desire

So wait, find my heart
And you'll find something true
Wait, know my heart
It's so pure inside of you
Oh, you are not alone
I've always been with you
You'll never do for me
What I can do, I can do through you
(2x)

Like a dove with broken wings
Just wait, wait

I feel safe, and I feel warm
I feel misplaced, but I feel restored
Have we come this far for you to tell me no?
Where do I turn?
Where do I go?

What should I say? I feel undone
Should I stay? Feel like I’ve been runnin’
We’ve come this far…don’t let me go
Where do I turn?
Where do I go?

Where do I go?
What should I do?
When will I know if I’ll come through?
I feel so discouraged
I need your direction
Where do I go?

I feel erased, and I feel torn
But I see your grace, and I feel your warmth
We’ve come this far, Lord I need to know
Where do I turn?
Where do I go?

Where do I go?
What should I do?
When will I know if I’ll come through?
I feel so discouraged
I need your direction
Where do I go?

Where do I go?
What should I do?
When will I know if I’ll come through?
I feel so discouraged
I need your direction
Where do I go?

Can you begin to tell me?
Can you begin to tell me why?
Can you begin to tell me?
Can you begin to tell me why?
Tell me why?

Can you begin to tell me?
Can you begin to tell me why?
Can you begin to tell me?
Can you begin to tell me why?
Tell me why?

You are faithful
You are God
You are so faithful
You are my God

When the rain comes and floods the land
And you feel as though you just can’t stand
Hold on. Hold on
When the waves get to high and you fall
When you feel like you’ve just lost it all
Hold on. Hold on
When you feel afraid of what lies ahead
Don’t you be scared, but just walk on instead
Hold on.

Hold on, He’ll rescue you
Hold on, He’ll come to you
Hold on to His word,
His love will carry you through
Hold on

When the weight is too heavy and it’s breakin’ your back
And you feel like you’re under unending attacks
Hold on. Hold on
When the way seems so tough and the road seems too long
And you feel you are losing control
Hold on. Hold on

Hold on, He’ll rescue you
Hold on, He’ll come to you
Hold on to His word,
His love will carry you through
Hold on

When the night seems so cold and alone
When you’re crying out but no help has come
Hold on. Hold on
When you feel like you are losing your place
Been running in this world’s high speed chase
Hold on

Hold on, He’ll rescue you
Hold on, He’ll come to you
Hold on to His word,
His love will carry you through
Hold on

The trees are no longer green, they’re fading
The waters have all dried up, and
The sun is dying
She can’t see what must be done
She can’t see what’s apparently wrong
But she’s fading
She’s breaking

Untie her hands
She longs to fly
Unbind her now
She’ll crash this sky

And she dreams, she longs to be free
She screams, she needs to be free
Cause she dreams, and she needs freedom

You take a picture of her soul
You develop it in black and white
You can’t see her true beauty
You’ve buried her joy so selfishly

Locked down her mind, but
She’s been thinking
She’s leaning out the window
Trying to catch the breeze and
She can breathe again
Until you pull her back inside again

And she screams, she longs to be fee
She dreams, she needs to be free
She pleads, she needs freedom

The mountains they no longer stand, they’ve fallen
The wind, it has ceased to blow, yet
It’s silently calling

To open up the window, let the sunlight it
It’s breaking

Unlatch the shades
Open up the sky
Brush off the dust
She’ll crash this night

Cause she dreams, and she longs to be free
She screams, she needs to be free
Cause she dreams, she needs freedom.

Cause she dreams, and she longs to be free
She screams, she needs to be free
Cause she dreams, she needs freedom.

I have been tossed
Lost out at sea
Left here to fade
In my misery
But I’ll hold my faith
And I will believe
I will stand strong
Though things are unseen

The night and the waves beat this vessel
The rigging is sure to fail
But still I see your light from the shore
And it’s guiding me safely home

There have been times
I thought you’d forgotten
In my desperation
I turned away
The further I strayed
The stronger you pulled me
Till I fought no longer
And I came home to stay

The night and the waves beat this vessel
The rigging is sure to fail
But still I see your light from the shore
And it’s guiding me safely home

The night and the waves are sure to fail
Cause your leading me safely home

Black moon, the sky’s dark and
The cold room, shadows move in and you feel
You feel afraid
Falling endlessly, your sweet heart is so broken
You need peace
You feel alone

I am right here, just let me hold you
You do not need to fear all of these ghosts
I will lift off your worries sweet child
Just fall into my arms
I’ll keep you through the night
Let go and hold on to me

Empty hands, tied
A hollowed heart chasing the things
You thought could love you back
But you feel so cold
Tears streaking down your sweet face
Said the pain was no big deal but you feel
You feel weighed down

I am right here, just let me hold you
You do not need to fear all of these ghosts
I will lift off your worries sweet child
Just fall into my arms
I’ll keep you through the night
Let go and hold on to me

Trembling, afraid to turn
To look and see you gave it all away
You feel ashamed
Slow stepping, inching towards
A downward spiral that could very well take you out
You don’t feel safe

I am right here, just let me hold you
You do not need to fear all of these ghosts
I will lift off your worries sweet child
Just fall into my arms
I’ll keep you through the night
Let go and hold on to me

I've tried and I've tried
To regrasp my old life
But I have retired all those old feelings, and
I've had to move on with my life

Feel like I can't go on
Feel like I can't go on
Like I can't go on
Without you here
I can't go on

I have removed
Myself from the past and
At last I can look up and see
The beauty each new day offers to me

Yet still I can hold close your memory
And still feel as if you
You were still right here comforting,
Holding me, Holding me, sometimes I

(chorus)

Feel like I
Like I can't
Like I can't go on…

Without you here

I’m falling down and I ‘m weak
I segregate myself and I speak
With words that destroy and tear down
I’ve been longing to find
But I haven’t found
The grace and the patience
The love that I see
Modeled through your spirit
Lord, please hear me

Broken, I’m searching,
Running after you
Your heart and your mercy,
Lord and your truth
Fill me with compassion
Teach me your ways
And I will follow solely after you

I am alone, and I am afraid
That I’ve turned my back on the truth
Been justifying everything that seems
Right in my head, but not in my heart
Been sprinting in circles and now I’m afraid
That I can’t make it back to where you are

Broken, I’m searching
Running after you
Your heart and your mercy
Lord and your truth
Fill me with compassion
Teach me your ways
And I will follow solely after you

Broken, I’m searching
Running after you
Your heart and your mercy
Lord and your truth
Fill me with compassion
Teach me your ways
And I will follow solely after you
