I've played your games
And I don't have to play long to lose
Knife in my back
But I can't blame you, it's your only way
Not deep enough
The only reason I must come back for more
You thought I'd learned
But the fun outweighs the price I pay
Now I'm fighting on my knees for You
The things I've done You still pull me through
You've played those games
And you don't have to play long to lose
Knife in your back
But you can't blame him, it's his only way
Not deep enough
The only reason you must go back for more
I thought you've learned
But the fun outweighs the price you pay
By our own strength
Get nowhere fast
We're falling down
We'll break like glass
Breathe life into me
'Cause the blood I've lost is all over me
See through Your eyes
'Cause my eyes have only blinded me
I've lived, I've learned
There is a debt I know I cannot pay
Holiness in me
And I'll avoid the pain You took from me
