I've never seen you suffer

I've never realised you could feel such pain

 And your eyes, they burn like cotton in the fields

                                      

You have a love that smothers

 It tears and claws at a hole in your heart

and your hands, they shake like children in the snow

Even when you're low

You know where to go

                                                                          

I had a hope, a vision

 That I could fix that gaping hole in your life but I failed, and now I'm scraping up my own

I've never turned and ran

 I just don't want you standing seeing me cry

At the sight of you fading quickly every day

There's a light that shines

 At the end of every tunnel this dark

 There's a hand that's waiting

It's calling out your name

In a God we trust

But do we really have the faith to survive and to walk

And guide them from the dark

I'd do it all again

I wouldn't change a thing

 I know where I went wrong

 I wouldn't change a thing

In my side there's a knife

That twists with every ache of your heart

And it burns, like cotton in the fields
