I felt Your hands on me, I felt the lighting change
I heard the silence say that I should be ashamed
I carried on like that, I carried everything alone
Well, I tried
To be Your favorite son, to make a name for us
I tried to buy Your love, I tried to pay with blood
I carried on like that, I carried everything alone
Well, I tried

Okay, okay, God, I'm gonna talk to You
Like a child who keeps on running back into the room
Saying love me, love me better
I just want to be with You, take my chances
Okay, okay, I've been trying to do this wrong
I've been dying, fighting fair, and I just ain't that strong
Saying love me, love forever
I just wanna be with You, take me dancing

I take a breath sometimes from underneath my hurts
I lay the good man out, he's looking so absurd
I carry on like that, I hear the feelings stir again
Drives me crazy
Obsession takes some time to breach an old excuse
You check yourself in jail on Tuesday afternoons
I carried on like that, I carried everything alone
Well, I tried

Okay, okay, God, I'm gonna talk to You
Like a child who keeps on running back into the room
Saying love me, love me better
I just want to be with You, take my chances
Okay, okay, I've been trying to do this wrong
I've been dying, fighting fair, and I just ain't that strong
Saying love me, love forever
I just wanna be with You, take me dancing

I guess I'll never be man enough to make these changes
I hope You'll understand that I'm trying hard to let this go

Okay, okay, God, I'm gonna talk to You
Like a child who keeps on running back into the room
Saying love me, love me better
I just want to be with You, take my chances
Okay, okay, I've been trying to do this wrong
I've been dying, fighting fair, and I just ain't that strong
Saying love me, love forever
I just wanna be with You, take me dancing
