Fallen - Sarah McLachlan

[azurephoenix]

Heaven bent to take my hand and lead me through the fire
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 began with good intent when love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves, the past could be undone
But we carry on our back 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've held so dear

I'm 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 with nowhere left to turn
I'm lost in those I thought were friends to everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed, pretend that they don't see
That it's one misstep 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

I messed up better I should know
But don't come round here and tell me I told you so
