Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about.


Verse 1:
I
Am far away from home
I'm out here all alone
Idolizing the unworthy

And I
Have committed you a crime
I'm still telling lies
Of my life and false sense of glory

Pre Chorus:
But you told me not to worry
You are my life,
you write the story

Chorus:
I'm falling to my knees
Like a man who finally sees
That his life
ain't what it used to be

I was never on my own
I had you to bring me home
I will put my trust in you alone

Cuz I finally see
That my life
ain't what it used to be.

Verse 2:
I (I)
have wasted so much time (time)
Captivated by (by)
those who were not worthy (guitar fill)

And I
have missed you like the summertime
I was suffocated by
my anger and my fury

Pre Chorus:
But you told me not to worry
You are my life,
you write the story

Chorus:
I'm falling to my knees
Like a man who finally sees
That his life
ain't what it used to be

I was never on my own
I had you to bring me home
I will put my trust in you alone

Cuz I finally see
That my life
ain't what it used to be

Parenthesis= vocal echo or guitar fill

This can be taken different ways. I wrote it so that it can be seen as a love song or worship song.
