lyrics

from the depths a signal of distress
from me the runaway
i turned my back, you threw me in the deep
the current swirled about me
your waves swept over me
while my life was ebbing away
my song rose to you
but you knew not to listen to my empty words
you saw right through
i faked it for a while
but it wasn't better
it's never better
i wish it wasn't true
this wasn't even the first time
my first second chance, committed crime
i'm disappointing you
the waves crashing down in my face
the current swirls about this place
i'm so mad at myself for letting this happen again
concerned with the vine even though
i did not tend or make it grow
i've got a lot to learn
up and down, no end in sight
you met me there that cold, dark night
warn down to the end
turn my eyes from this foolishness, toward you God of peace
i don't want my struggle, even my belief
i want you
i need You
