We were best friends up until I had to give confessions (give confessions)
With the stress, now we are gonna need some intercession
Feel the pain arise, how could I lie, night after night, by your side
All the while keepin' lies down inside
Put my vows to the side, now your eyes close tight in the night valentines
Just another day feelin' out of place and I really hate me (I really hate me)
When I see your face, then I contemplate: "What if I erase me?"
Better that than facin' the truth
Someone better waitin' for you
Someone who is faithful to you
Grab me by my face with your wedding band up against my jaw (up against my jaw)
Said, "I'm here to stay, that's for every win, that's for every loss (that's for every loss)
I can never estimate the price you pay to forgive my faults"
I said, "Baby girl, you don't have to take this"
She said, "Boy, you gon' have to face it"
I wanna hold you close
I'll never let you go
Come, let me in your arms
I wanna hold you close
How do people get like me
You ain't never seen a wreck like me
You ain't ever owed a debt like me
How you gonna save a wretch like me?
I might be turn a bottle to a hospital
Saw somebody carve a canyon
In their skin, saw the Rio Grande
Turn red, they might need a bandage
Need a friend, I feel so abandoned (so abandoned)
But I know, I deserve it
I don't even wanna fight the verdict
I don't need some kinda words I have heard
Everyone I know
I'm the worst and flyin' birds really kinda covet
Scared to go 'cause I don't know what's next
When I die, will I fly, will I love it?
Will I pay the price for rejectin' everything You gave?
How much does Your grace cost when I face off with my past
And I lose the game?
Build a sand castle outta fear and
Now I pray that You'll send a wave
Will You renovate? Will You terminate?
If You're even there, You just probably hate me
Grab me by my hand and I felt the spirit movin' my heart
Said I'll live again and that all I did is nailed to the cross
I could never estimate the price you pay to forgive my fault then
I said, "Lord, I could not repay this"
He said, "Boy, you gon' have to face it"
I wanna hold you close (Wanna hold you close)
I'll never let you go (Never let you go)
Come, let me in your arms (Let me in your arms, yeah)
I wanna hold you close
I wanna hold you close
I'll never let you go
Come, let me in your arms
I wanna hold you close
