Lyrics

I can't run anymore
I fall before you
Here I am
I have nothing left

Though I've tried to forget
You're all that I am
Take me home
I'm through fighting it

Broken
Lifeless
I give up
You're my only strength

Without you
I can't go on
Anymore
Ever again

My only hope [All the times I've tried]
My only peace [To walk away from you]
My only joy, my only strength,
My only power [I fall into your abounding grace]
My only life [And love is where I am]
My only love

I can't run anymore
I give myself to you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

In all my bitterness
I ignored all that's real and true
All I need is you

When night falls on me
I'll not close my eyes
I'm too alive
And you're too strong

I can't lie anymore
I fall down before you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

My only hope [All the times I've tried]
My only peace [To walk away from you]
My only joy, my only strength,
My only power [I fall into your abounding grace]
My only life [And love is where I am]
My only love

Constantly ignoring
The pain consuming me
But this time it's cut too deep
I'll never stray again

My only hope [All the times I've tried]
My only peace [To walk away from you]
My only joy, my only strength,
My only power [I fall into your abounding grace]
My only life [And love is where I am]
My only love

My only hope [All the times I've tried]
My only peace [To walk away from you]
My only joy, my only strength,
My only power [I fall into your abounding grace]
My only life [And love is where I am]
My only love
