[Verse I]
What if I'm so tired that I can't go on?
What if I can't get out of bed because my life is gone?
What if as I write this song, my soul's already moved on?
I'm not strong
And I can see heaven waiting: the lights is on
And it's been a long, long, long time
Since I felt like these rhymes
Reached any farther than my mind
But do they reach to heaven yet?
Can I say they heaven sent?
Has heaven bent to free heart, mind, and soul?
But thoughtless words never to heaven go
So maybe this is just my way of letting go
Maybe I'll never know .
So I lay here waiting. For what?
Something other than the cut
Of that alarm clock "Get up! Get up!"
But I don't want to, so I duck under the covers
And hope that it'll go away
Away, away, get away!
And I pray that God takes me away
[Chorus]
Is this what life's like? I'd like to know;
Why am I heart broke, if I'm alone?
Everything I've ever had isn't enough!
So why can't I just let it go?
I wanna let this go
I wanna let this go
I wanna let this go
[Verse II]
Sitting on the bus with my head down
Hoping that the driver forgets to stop
Maybe if he just keeps driving around
I'll wake up and find myself on the road to the top
But the "drip-drop" of the rain
Is a "tick-tock" to my brain
As I feel my life slipping away
And I strain to hear the refrain
Of angels singing of another day coming
But all I feel is pain, is that why I've stopped running?
What's left to gain?
What's left that's good?
Why bother playin'?
If all I would have is beyond my grasp
And all I could have is in my hands?
I know I shouldn't say it, but I wanna give up
I can't sit up, and get up, and live up I'm quittin'
I know it's my fault and my life that I'm missin'
But this is the end, I give in to this indolence
[Chorus]
[Verse III]
But, oh my soul cries out for more!
And I can't get away from the pain, I fall to the floor
Now I'm on my knees
And I'm begging you please, don't leave me here!
Please don't leave me with these fears
Don't leave me with these tears . . .
And the rain falls!
And the rain falls!
I swear I hear my heart breaking
And I know my soul is forsaken!
And the rain falls!
And the rain falls!
