One by one you broke me
Weakened what fragile shell I had
Words like stones thrown from your tongues
Where have I gone wrong, my God?
I have merely done my very best
A bleeding sun tells me in tear drop words
That all I do is futile - it can never be enough
You shred my heart to pieces
And then with honeyed tongue
You tie it back with ribbon and bow
Serve it to me on a silver platter
Only so you could destroy it again
Were you never truly here before?
On this side of the firing line?
Shieldless and alone, you say
But my heart, my God, will guide me
And the power of those I love
Shall ever shield my soul.
