The Climb

"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 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
 We believed 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've 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 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 embarassed
 Pretend that they don't see
 But 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, 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...
