Heaven  bent to take my hand
 And lead  me through the fire
/4
 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, fallen...
I  have sunk  so low
 I messed  up
Better I  should know
 So don't come  round here
 And tell me I told  you so
We  all begin with good intent
Love  was raw and young
  /4
 We believe 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 have held  so dear.
 I've fallen...
I  have sunk  so low
 I messed  up
Better I  should know
 So don't come  round here
 And tell me I told  you so
Heaven  bent to take my hand
Nowhere  left to turn
/4
 I'm lost to those I thought were friends
 To everyone  I know
 Oh they turned  their heads embarassed
Pretend  that they don't see
That  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, fallen...
I  have sunk  so low
 I messed  up
Better I  should know
 So don't come  round here
 And tell me I told  you so
Ohhhh I
 I messed  up
Better I  should know
 You don't come  round here
 And tell me I told  you so
