Lyrics
Penny Locked
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I put my faith in skin and bones
I tried to fix it on my own
Looking back I must ask why
My dreams were not in line with yours
A chatter box, empty words, heart numb
So unalert, looking back it's so absurd
I tried to tell myself again
What I'm doing is not sin
It leaves me one thing left to say
Chorus:
I'm sorry for the wasted time
For leaving You behind
I fall on my knees and I cry
My God I'm sorry for every wasted day
I'd give it all away
For You to keep me in Your will
Find the truth and walk away
Doesn't emancipate, but restrain
Much to lose, yet much to gain
Hold down, lock down, confine
I built this cell within my mind
All the stupid tricks
Just proves there's no one greater than You
(Chorus)
I hold firmly to the fact that You love me
And that You'll never go away
No You'll never go away
This life's a gift and I know You want me
To use it so I'll serve You every day
Put regret behind to stay
Every night and every day
Every time and every way
