Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me is a cold room
[Verse 2]
I've crossed the last line
From where I can return
Where every step I took in faith betrayed me
And led me from my home
[Verse 3]
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
[Verse 4]
Take me in
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me
(Who are you?) Are you an angel?
[Verse 5]
Am I already that gone?
I only hope that I won't disappoint you
When I'm down here on my knees (Who are you?)
[Verse 6]
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give (Who are you?)
[Verse 7]
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
[Verse 8]
Don't understand the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything about you
[Verse 9]
Doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me is a cold room
(Who are you?)
[Verse 10]
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give (Who are you?)
[Verse 11]
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
