I don't know what to say when I'm with you
Words pale and fail to say what my heart knows

I try to raise my voice, but it trickles into nothing more than words.

My spirit's longing but my heart is cold and silent
Turned to stone from years of giving up the fight

I try to make a choice to love you, but I've always said those words

I've wronged you
I'm sorry
I don't know if I can change
But I need you
I'm desperate
I know your the only way
I can love
And be loved
And find that maybe love is enough

I keep thinking of all the times before this
Blaming you or me for how I just can't change

I'll try to look beyond, so my love goes beyond only words.

I still feel the shadow creeping up inside me
But I also feel your life breaking through

I know this heart will fail but please prevail, please be more than words

I've wronged you
I'm sorry
I don't know if I can change
But I need you
I'm desperate
I know your the only way
I can love
And be loved
And find that maybe love is enough

To change a heart
To change my life
From wandering darkness
To living light
Than can warm hearts
And light lives up
More than words
But changed inside

I've wronged you
I'm sorry
I don't know if I can change
But I need you
I'm desperate
You're the only way
I can love
And be loved
And my heart knows that love is enough
(When times get rough)
My heart knows your love enough
(When I fall)
My heart knows your love enough
(When I'm weak)
My heart knows your love is enough
(When I'm lost)
My heart knows you love is enough
