Torn

Have you ever been torn
between whats right or whats wrong
you know in your heart
but your mind seems to stall

you try to forget
of the life you once lived
all of his mercy
and blood that was shed

but forgetting is remembering
when you lay your head down
you try to find peace
as your tears hit the ground

I once thought tears
were prayers unspoken
but my prayers seem to fade
as my heart remains broken

broken into pieces
over many of things
all the pain and the hurt
and sadness it brings

reminding me of the path
i once used to walk
wanting and missing him
but still seem to fall

why do i fall
if my heart longs for you
i feel so empty
but i know what to do

I know what to do
I've been taught since a child
even know what to do
and its driving me wild

I my life is so empty
then whats holding me back
if your all that i need
theres nothing i lack

Theres nothing compared
to the love that you give
nothing could replace
the life that was lived

were not promised tomorrow
or even our next breath
i always look forward to life
now I'm afraid of my death

I'm afraid tomorrow
wont come my way
ill be left behind
with nothing left to say

but only the words
that should have been said
on the tip of my tongue
but remain in my head

whats it going to take
for me to come back to you
find myself forgiven
in all that i do

all it will take
is the brokenness of my tears
words from my heart
that are truly sincere

so open my heart
forgive my sins
wipe the tears from my eyes
and walk with me again
