Used to try to love a god I didn’t even know
Used to try to try to fool myself that I was something good
Used to think that someday it would all just come to me
Used to but I found myself to be completely empty
While pacing in the dark the same repeated plea
To care about anything else, some purpose to hold
Each time I opened up betrayers stole and ran
So cold and hopeless that I almost froze in place
Don’t take me back
Don’t alter a thing
Nothing short of all that pain
Could teach me how to sing
What was gained as a child
Had never quite gone away
Freedom to live my life
Not owning a single day
Now to try to know a god I cannot help but love
You tell me how to live, I’ll tell you who to meet
I can’t do anything but I can do all things
I can’t know everything so run what you will by me
So here’s a kiss for the one I love
So here’s a shrug for all you who’ve passed me by
So here’s forgiveness for the one who broke my heart
So here’s good riddance to the selfish former self
That’s not the end
Much more to learn
What good may come my way
Is nothing that I’ll earn
