lyrics

I am a runner, but I don't know what I'm running to
my feet they are fastened in fear
and my bones are weak from the lack of touch from you

I'll never get used to being lonely
but somehow I've gotten so use to being used
if I could hold you I could I would I should
but you left me when things got tough for you
well it's tough for me too

couldn't you just show me how to walk talk or how to sing
couldn't you have just shown me anything
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I'm always seeking acceptance
cause I was never firmly accepted by you
except in my dreams which quit on me too
could someone please just stop
and show me how to grow
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
am I an outcast, a counterfeit, or just alone
no up or down or no home away from home
I cry desperately for patience peace

what happened to seek and save the lost
and where were you when I needed you the most
just waited time and time and time again
for you to come around and make things right for you
and right for me too

couldn't you just show me how to walk talk or how to sing
couldn't you have just shown me anything
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I'm always seeking acceptance
cause I was never firmly accepted by you
except in my dreams which quit on me too
could someone please just stop
and show me how to grow
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It all comes down to being broken down
to sleep comfortably in your own skin
well if it all comes down to being broken down
then you've broke me
you can sleep tight by your own side

It all comes down to being broken down
to sleep comfortably in your own skin
well if it all comes down to being broken down
then you've broke me
I can sleep tight by my own side
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I was never firmly accepted by you
except in my dreams which quit on me too
could someone please just stop
and show me how to grow
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
but You see the troubled, the afflicted
consider their grief and you take it in Your hands
I cry out for grace and you call me your son
my foundation, my father, my friend.

Whoa.

my foundation, my father, my friend.
