Lyrics
Oh, on my knees
Oh, I can't breathe
All that I ever prayed
That love would be where I stayed
Oh, I can see
All that I believe
I know that I play the game
But I'll never be ashamed
I'm not trying to pass the blame
I'm just trying to protect my name
But you know I would die for you
What you dreaming, it can't be true
I can see how you tarnish me
How you gave me the third degree
I don't need to apologize
I could lie to you every night
When you stole from me everything
You just gave me a song to sing
You can leave me inside to die
What you mean is I never cry
There are things we can never see
I need God, would you pray for me?
We've been lost in the memory
All the darkness was meant to be
Oh, on my knees
Oh, I can't breathe
All that I ever prayed
Love would be where I stayed
Oh, I can see
All that I believe
I know that I play the game
But I'll never be ashamed
Oh-oh, on my knees
All that I can be
I can hear angels sing
I'm tired of the place I'm in
Oh, holy ground
Give me the sweetest sound
I know where I'd rather be
The silence is heavenly
If I paint you a masterpiece
Would my pain and my hurt decrease?
If I'm able to make you cry
Would you love me and want me more?
I just want you to understand
That I'm only a broken man
And my heart it can only show
All the things we can never know
There's no need to apologize
We'll get back to the other side
I've been walking on solid ground
Wait till you see what I have found
I still aim for the stars above
I'm no longer the man you loved
I've become who I meant to be
When I needed you next to me
Oh, on my knees
Oh, I can't breathe
All that I ever prayed
Oh-oh, I believe
I believe, whoa, whoa
Oh, I believe, yeah
Oh, I believe
That I'ma walk away
Oh, I believe
I'm walkin' now
Oh, I believe
Oh-oh-oh, oh, I believe
Oh, now, oh, I can see, yeah
Oh, I believe
Oh, on my knees
Oh, I can't breathe
All that I ever prayed
That love would be where I stayed
Oh, I can see
All that I believe
I can hear angels sing
Tired of the place I'm in
