maybe everything you say is right
mabye i’m just calling to pick a fight
you say i’m scared and i think that’s true
but i’m weaker than i sound to you
sometimes i hold the phone tight to my ear
but i won’t beg for words i need to hear
you tell me tomorrow the sun will rise
just say you’ll stay if i say goodbye
say i’m ok
even if i know it’s true
say i’m ok
i need to hear it from you
this valley will not make me its slave
but i don’t know which command to obey
i know different roads lead to different places
but i’ve shown the world far too many faces
now i’m just so scared of being alone
i know you’re tired of holding the phone
but i’m crying out (why can’t you see)
you have the power to heal me
say i’m ok
even if i know it’s true
i’ll be ok
if i hear it from you

Jesus, a name a rarely use
this is that cliche beg for Your hand
i read Your touch brings healing
i don’t really understand
if Your hands, then part of the body
aren’t we all your flesh and bone?
send someone to hold me
i cannot mend if alone
my days hold no assurance
my heart no hope to burn
like fuel to reach my goal
Jesus, i don’t know where to turn
in faith that is not free of doubt
i ask for Your peace, for a friend
i’ll wait here trapped by fear
for the rescue You will send

i hate my life, i hope it never changes
pause it here and we’ll call it even
i don’t wanna watch another love leaving
it’ll be better. someday i’ll look back
and wonder why i was so afraid
to leave the mess
leave the mess i have made
i’ve become complacent
such a disappointment
how much can i take?
how much can i take?
before i break

i never asked the world to help me off the ground
dust me off, hug me, and carry me around
i sip life through a straw, slow and steady wins the race
i forget that every time i’ve ended up in second place
if you call my name i’ll try to make you smile
i never asked for anyone to stand with rank and file
every now and then i stop to wonder where i am
but i never asked the world to give a damn
i park in distant space, walk too far back home
i don’t complain about the fact i’m most often alone
when i feel the dark clouds coming, hear thunder like a train
doubt is just a lack of hope and truth is falling rain
i never was one to try and change the way you live
i didin’t keep score of what you take and what i give
i only wish that empty wasn’t so easy to feel
i never gave you anything you did not want to steal

am i led into the desert
or do i go there on my own?
do i have to swing so hard
to get water from a stone
i can’t see a burning bush
i can’t see your signs
i wish you’d come and tell me
something that i can’t deny
say you love me
tell me i’m beautiful
say you love me
tell me i’m beautiful
tell me i’m worth it.
i would sit right by the fire
they’d ask me and i would deny
and i’d stand back in the corner
till i put a finger in your side
