Lord, I'm breaking Please undo these chains I've placed upon myself 'Cause she had everything And everything's what she took Now I got nothing But you'll be my second look I was leaning on her beauty, skin deep Now I am waiting In this hollow dream I sleep I fell away into the wonders of her face I traded you in for her temporary grace Try to understand that I have a heart for you But I am just a man
And I know it's no excuse She came to take me away And I was blocking out all you had to say And though I lost her love I found my way All at the price of a little heartache The more I come to find She always said "you're on your own" And so we lived a lie And together felt alone But in you I could confide To lay me down when I am weak And lift my eyes past the pleasures people seek
