fallen

heaven bend to take my hand, and lead me through the fire.
be the long awaited answer to a long and painful fight.
truth be told, i've tried my best, but somewhere along the way i got caught up in all there was to offer.
and the cost was so much more than i could bear.
though i've tried, i've fallen. i have sunk so low.
i have messed up. better i should know.
so don't come around here, and tell me i told you so...
we all begin with good intent; love was raw and young.
we believed that we could change ourselves, the past could be undone.
but we carry on our backs the burden time always reveals.
the lonely light of morning.
the wound that would not heal.
it's the bitter taste of losing everything that i have held so dear.
i've fallen. i have sunk so low.
i have messed up, better i should know.
so don't come around here, and tell me i told you so...
heaven bend to take my hand, nowhere left to turn.
i'm lost to those i thought were friends, to everyone i know.
oh, they turn their heads, embarrassed, pretend that they don't see.
but it's one missed step, you'll slip before you know it.
and there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed.
though i've tried, i've fallen. i have sunk so low.
i have messed up. better i should know.
so don't come around here, and tell me i told you so...
