Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Heaven bend to take my hand

And lead me through the fire

Be the long awaited answer

To a long and painful fight

Truth be told, I've tried my best

But somewhere 'long the way

I got caught up in all there was to offer

And the cost was so much more than I could bear

[Verse 2]

Though I've tried

I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I messed up

Better, I should know

So you don't come round here

And tell me, "I told you so"

[Verse 3]

We all begin with good intent

Love was raw and young

We believed that we could change ourselves

The past can be undone

But we carry on our back, a burden

Time always reveals

In the lonely light of morning

In the wound that would not heal

It's the bitter taste of losing everything

I've held so dear

[Verse 4]

I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I messed up

Better, I should know

So you don't come round here

And tell me, "I told you so"

[Verse 5]

Heaven bend to take my hand

Nowhere left to turn

Lost to those I thought were friends

To everyone I know

Oh, they turn their heads, embarrassed

Pretend that they don't see

But it's one missed step

One slip, before you know it

And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

[Verse 6]

Though I've tried

I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I've messed up

Better, I should know

So you don't come round here

Tell me, "I told you so"

[Verse 7]

I messed up

Better, I should know

Don't you come 'round here

Tell me, "I told you so"
