I listen to the words you say As if I were here to stay This time is short but my life is long You sing to me a beautiful song
My heart is torn between what I know and what I feel Not wanting what I know to be real I make excuses and play the games But I have to go back from where I came The world keeps spinning but I wish it would pause For me to understand what was the cause
I am torn between the voice in my head Listening to where I should be lead Am I hearing what I want to hear Or is it the voice whispering in my ear
I am so broken and have so many scars Are my wounds turning into my bars Keeping me trapped from trusting in you Always wondering what is false and what is true
I'm scared of falling into a trap Not wanting any more hurt to spread the gap Between healing and being fully broken These words are hard for me to have spoken Admitting I am the cause for caution Not wanting to hurt you from my objection
Scared that I'll make the wrong choice By not listening to that voice But it's so faint I can hardly make out The words it's forming and trying to shout My ears are deaf and I do not know Which choice I should make and then follow
I think back to the story of Ruth Will my life reflect her truth I do not want to be the one who saved you I do not want you to save me too
My eyes are turned to the One above Wanting to understand how deep is His love I am unable to show love on this earth In a way you would understand it's worth
Where have your eyes turned upon Onto a Hope that breaks the dawn Or onto a moment that makes you smile But then fades away after a while Do not put your hope in me I cannot make your life complete
I need you to understand these simple truths about love That it's not found in a person but from above I am trying to gaurd my heart But I cannot imagine us apart
I need to know where your heart lies When you tell me, look me in the eyes In the truth of where love leads Or in the wanting of selfish needs I hope the best for this choice I make For I know your heart is at stake
There is not much time to waste now I'll be praying that I know how To keep our hearts still intact No matter how they may be attacked Your words are gentle and so is your heart Please know that there is Hope together or apart.
