Lyrics[]

I can't run anymore
I fall before you
Here I am, I have nothing left
Though I've tried to forget, you're all that I am
Take me home, I'm through fighting it

Broken, lifeless
I give up, you're my only strength
Without you, I can't go on
Anymore, ever again, oh

My only hope, my only peace (All the times I've tried)
My only joy, my only strength (To walk away from you)
My only power, my only life (I fall into your abounding grace)
My only love (And love is where I am)

I can't run anymore, I give myself to you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
In all my bitterness
I ignored all that's real and true, all I need is you

When night falls on me, I'll not close my eyes
I'm too alive and you're too strong
I can't lie anymore, I fall down before you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

My only hope, my only peace (All the times I've tried)
My only joy, my only strength (To walk away from you)
My only power, my only life (I fall into your abounding grace)
My only love (And love is where I am)

Constantly ignoring
The pain consuming me
But this time it's cut too deep
I'll never stray again

My only hope, my only peace (All the times I've tried)
My only joy, my only strength (To walk away from you)
My only power, my only life (I fall into your abounding grace)
My only love (And love is where I am)

My only hope, my only peace (All the times I've tried)
My only joy, my only strength (To walk away from you)
My only power, my only life [I fall into your abounding grace)
My only love (And love is where I am)
