Heaven bent to take my hand
                        
And lead me through the fire
/4             
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, fallen...
             
I have sunk so low
   
I messed up
                  
Better I should know
                         
So don't come round here
                                
And tell me I told you so



We all begin with good intent
                    
Love was raw and young
   /4                
We believe that we could change ourselves
                     
The past could be undone



But we carry on our backs the burden
             
Time always reveals
                      
In the lonely light of morning
                         
In 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 messed up
                  
Better I should know
                         
So don't come round here
                           
And tell me I told you so


      



Heaven bent to take my hand
               
Nowhere left to turn
/4                 
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
              
To everyone I know
        
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
                           
Pretend that they don't see
           
That it's one missed step
                         
One slip before you know it
                                 
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed


                 
Though I've tried, fallen...
             
I have sunk so low
  
I messed up
                  
Better I should know
                         
So don't come round here
                                
And tell me I told you so

     
       
Ohhhh I
   
I messed up
                  
Better I should know
                         
You don't come round here
                                       
And tell me I told you so
