I turn to you in suffering
I turn to you in pain
But once the road is smooth again
I simply turn away.
How, I ask, does this happen?
Why am I so weak?
The answer is such that I hide my face in shame.
But you take my hand again
And brush my tears away.
You remind me that you're so much
Bigger than anything I fear...
And since I fear my own heart
And you're still there
I know you speak the truth.

You never leave me
And I know you'll never fail me
I admit, sometimes I stumble
But I'm convinced somehow you knew
That all this time I was gonna
Come running back to you.

I could ask how,
But I know I'll never understand.
I could ask why you'd do all this
Even if I was the only one...
But this is just so beautiful
Why ruin it with doubt?
So, I laugh and come running back to you.

I know I'm far from perfect
I know it's hard to change
But I also know your promise
And I've memorized your love...
So even though I wander
And though I'm blinded by the pain.
No matter what happens
I'll always come running back to you.
