Fallen- Sarah McLachlan

Heaven bend to take my hand
and lead me through the fire.
Be the long awaited answer
to a long and painful fight

Truth be told, I've tried my best
but somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
and the cost was so much more than I could bear.

Though I've tried, I've fallen,
I have sunk so low,
I messed up,
better I should know.
So don't come around here
and tell me "I told you so..."

We all begin with good intent,
love was raw and young.
We believed that we could change ourselves,
the past could be undone.
But we carry on our backs the burden
time always reveals
in the lonely light of morning,
in the wound that would not heal.
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
that I've held so dear.

Heaven bend to take my hand,
nowhere left to turn.
I'm lost to those I thought were friends,
to everyone I know.
They turn their heads, embarrassed,
pretend that they don't see,
but it's one missed step,
one slip before you know it.
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed.

Though I've tried, I've fallen,
I have sunk so low,
I messed up,
better I should know.
Please don't come around here,
and tell me I told you so...
