Soul Ties II

Manipulation - tell you that I love you but I fake it
Every day I see you losing patience
Can't take it - heart continually breaking
This house was never a home cause the hearts in it were vacant
I was telling myself this love is just like a dream
And I was right because the love was only a fantasy
An illusion I created cause I fear being alone
But my fear caused me to break your heart and now I can't atone
For the things I've done - for the trust I broke
You were looking at me lovingly - to me it's a joke
Every day I left you hanging even without a rope
But I kept telling you I loved you - left a false sense of hope
I struggle with immaturity - projected insecurity
I thought I'd give my best but I just gave the very worst of me
Then have the audacity to think that God was cursing me
When I was only hurting myself - botching my surgery
I never showed you that I loved you till I nearly lost you
Made mistakes and didn't think about what it would cost you
I was selfish - only wanted control
And now I tell you that I love you cause I can't let you go (Woah)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(I love you)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(Oh yes I do)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(But we know that's not true)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(Baby we gon' be alright)
Today's a new day - another chance for you to change
Cover the scars on my heart - won't think about the pain
My heart was bleeding I did my best to remove the stains
I'll let you be because you told me to just stay out your way
I pray daily for God to show you His mercy
And forgive you for your flaws cause I know you don't mean to hurt me
Or at least that's what I think - honestly that water's murky
Wanted to have a clean slate not just recycle what was dirty
I wanna believe you love me but your actions don't reflect it
Give your all to the whole world but when you're home I'm just neglected
How can you be the one killing the heart you claim you're protecting
And when I ask about it you leave and get all defensive
I know that you don't love me but I'm scared to be alone
You just push me to the side knowing that I keep holding on
I know God is working on you but why's it taking so long
Maybe you'll finally love me when you come home and I'm gone
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(I love you)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(Oh yes I do)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(But we know that's not true)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(Baby we gon' be alright)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(I love you)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(Oh yes I do)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(But we know that's not true)
Suddenly
You come to me
Telling me that you have been in love with me
(Baby we gon' be alright)
