Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
to a long and painful fight
Truth be told Ive tried my best
but somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
and the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though ive tried Ive fallen
and tell me i told you so
We all begin with good intent
We believed that we could change ourselves
But we carry on our backs the burden
The lonely light of morning
the wound that would not heal
its the bitter taste of losing everything
fallen I have sunk so low
and tell me i told you so
Heaven bent to take my hand
Im lost to those i thought were friends
Oh they turned their heads embarrassed
pretend that they dont see
youll slip before you know it
and there doesnt seem a way to be redeemed
Though ive tried Ive fallen
and tell me i told you so
and tell me i told you so
