Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told, I've tried my best
But somewhere 'long the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
[Verse 2]
Though I've tried
I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better, I should know
So you don't come round here
And tell me, "I told you so"
[Verse 3]
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back, a burden
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear
[Verse 4]
I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better, I should know
So you don't come round here
And tell me, "I told you so"
[Verse 5]
Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
Lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh, they turn their heads, embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
One slip, before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
[Verse 6]
Though I've tried
I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better, I should know
So you don't come round here
Tell me, "I told you so"
[Verse 7]
I messed up
Better, I should know
Don't you come 'round here
Tell me, "I told you so"
