Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dear Lord, can you help me?
I've fallen out of grace
I'm crawlin' back to Heaven from this Hell on Earth I've made
My blood has gotten heavy
There's metal in my veins
It's runnin' like the river filled with all of my mistakes
[PreChorus]
On my knees, I'm lookin' up
I need a different kind of drug
[Chorus]
I'm wide awake and I'm dreaming
Wondering where and when I fell apart
Oh, I fell apart
I had enough of my demons
Angels only meet you where you are
And I'm in the dark
At least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope
That somehow you can make a heart of gold
From this heart of stone, oh
This heart of stone, mmm-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Dear Lord, can you hear me?
I'm shackled in these chains
I'm haunted by the lies of every time I said I'd change
I'm slippin' through the shadows
It's weighin' on my soul
The lights are shinin' on me but there ain't nobody home
[PreChorus]
On my knees, I'm lookin' up
I need a different kind of drug
[Chorus]
I'm wide awake and I'm dreaming
Wondering where and when I fell apart
Oh, I fell apart
I had enough of my demons
Angels only meet you where you are
And I'm in the dark
At least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope
That somehow you can make a heart of gold
From this heart of stone
This heart of stone
This heart of stone
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm wide awake and I'm dreaming
Wondering where and when I fell apart
Oh, I fell apart
I had enough of my demons
But angels only meet you where you are
And I'm in the dark
At least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope
That somehow you can make a heart of gold
From this heart of stone
From this heart of stone
This heart of stone
[Outro]
'Cause I'm wide awake and I'm dreaming
