Giving It Up

By AllenTaylor

Everyday when I fall apart

There you find me in the dark

When I am broken and I am hurting

I'm never alone never deserted

Piece by piece you pick me up

My soul is dry, you fill the cup

The breath in my lungs escapes for you

For you

 

Come on and take this

I'm not strong not strong enough

Come on and take this

All my pain I'm giving it upGiving it up

 

Here I am searching for the truth

Ignoring the signs that point to you

Intentional blindness, deliberate deafness

When my hope is in full view

From my face you wipe my tears

Deep in my soul confront my fears

The breath in my lungs escapes for you

For You 

 

Come on and take this

I'm not strong not strong enough

Come on and take this

All my pain I'm giving it up

Giving it up
