Worth so much more
I'm worth so much more
I've seen the worst inside
I'm worth so much more
I've beaten myself with pride
There's no turning back
no time to sway off track
I know what's hidden in my core
these lies won't faze me anymore
I'm worth so much more
That face who can't discover
I'll stump that pride to the floor
cause my time for it is over
YEAH I'm worth so much more
this proirity for all to see
I'm worth so much more
the only option is to look at me
There's no turning back
No no no space...
I've seen the worst inside
I'm worth so much more
I've beaten myself with pride
There's no turning back
no time to sway off track
I know what's hidden in my core
these lies won't faze me anymore
I'm worth so much more
That face who can't discover
I'll stump that pride to the floor
cause my time for it is over
YEAH I'm worth so much more
this proirity for all to see
I'm worth so much more
the only option is to look at me
There's no turning back
No no no space...

Pause, rewind and replay
Marked by an endless kiss
followed by unspoken bliss
each day another near miss
sweet nothing, is all it is
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
I relive this picture every day
Pause, rewind and replay...
It's so hard to let this go
yes replaced by the no
wished so much it isn't so
but this is all I'll ever know.
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
I relive this picture every day
Pause, rewind and...
followed by unspoken bliss
each day another near miss
sweet nothing, is all it is
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
I relive this picture every day
Pause, rewind and replay...
It's so hard to let this go
yes replaced by the no
wished so much it isn't so
but this is all I'll ever know.
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
I relive this picture every day
Pause, rewind and...

Meant for me
I will not beg
I will not plead
I know myself
and what I need
I can not wait
I can not fail
I know just how
to find the trail
I'll walk alone
I'll walk away
I'll find that place
where I will stay
I will escape
I will be free
I can not shake
what's meant for me
I will not plead
I know myself
and what I need
I can not wait
I can not fail
I know just how
to find the trail
I'll walk alone
I'll walk away
I'll find that place
where I will stay
I will escape
I will be free
I can not shake
what's meant for me

Dear Lord
Dear Lord
Your promise is my sword
to cut down all my pain
to set free every thought
that's driving me insane
Your grace for me is bigger
than what my mind can see
Your eyes on me forever
untill eternity
Dear Lord
I sometimes take for granted
how steadfast You can be
I hide away in silence
but You still compfort me
I know I don't deserve it
I'm lost in all I do
and though I feel not worthit ...
Your promise is my sword

that's driving me insane

No matter what
That moment when I struggle
It's not supposed to be
I try to hold on to the
words once said to me
I promised that I'll thank Him
every single day
for if it was His blessing
I'll guard it come what may
In words once said to me
embedded in my heart
assured to always be
there no matter what
It's not supposed to be
I try to hold on to the
words once said to me
I promised that I'll thank Him
every single day
for if it was His blessing
I'll guard it come what may
In words once said to me
embedded in my heart
assured to always be
there no matter what

Burn
My only friend
The only one who care
Always seem to numb
the emptiness I bare
Heat runs down my chest
My balance seems to sway
It's okay, I need the fire
to make it through the day
So,
Burn my heart today
Burn my thoughts away
Burn down how I feel
Burn all that just won't heal
Ice cubes hit the glass
The only sound I hear
Hey my friend arrived
to listen to my fear
Perfect golden silence
Inside this noise I face
I'm staring down the bottom
stepping up...
The only one who care
Always seem to numb
the emptiness I bare
Heat runs down my chest
My balance seems to sway
It's okay, I need the fire
to make it through the day
So,
Burn my heart today
Burn my thoughts away
Burn down how I feel
Burn all that just won't heal
Ice cubes hit the glass
The only sound I hear
Hey my friend arrived
to listen to my fear
Perfect golden silence
Inside this noise I face
I'm staring down the bottom

Tear Drops
When the barrier's up,
spoken truth in place
Finding strength is hard
to step into that space
Keeping it at bay
Backing up to stay
Respect the only way
in tear drops as you pray
When the fall is fast,
reality becomes so real
Waiting for a dream seems lost
when denying how you feel
Keeping it at bay
Backing up to stay
Respect the only way
in tear drops as you pray
When you can't let go
How do you survive?
Pretending feels like torture
as you long to be alive...

Thank you
Thank you
for the moments that lit my sky
Thank you
for making my days fly by
You somehow had that touch
that something that meant so much
All it showed me.
Thank you
for bringing the best out of me
Thank you
for showing me what I couldn't see
Thank you
for making me breathe a while
Thank you
each moment that made me smile
Even though you must go
Il'l support it, all you do
and though you'll fade away
your memory will always stay
All it took out of me.

Shallow words
Don't want to believe it, embrace it
anymore
Don't want to get caught up, end up
anymore
Don't want to allow it, accept it
anymore
Shallow words,
they come so easily
Each time they use them
they become more empty
So easily they lie,
true colors expose it
Their actions are real
and they don't even know it
Don't want to lean on, look for
anymore
Don't want to let it, trust it
anymore
Cause I can't keep trying, keep fighting
anymore
Shallow words, ...

There
If the feeling of neglect turns up,
Those times when they weren't there
Each time you kneel to God
all those troubles for Him to care
Just know...
I am there
When you don't know how to express
in ways so you'll feel safe
be quiet and don't confess
to me you are still brave
and know...
I am there
When you're exhausted to the bone
Uncompfortable in your skin,
all you need is time alone
to heal...to rest wthin
Just know
I'll be there
...

Turned Away
Did you ever see me?
Did you really care?
Did I waste my time
stuck inside a prayer?
Almost felt like someone
Finally good enough
Was it even worthit,
When times were getting tough
Those words you always speak
they pop up everywhere
Promises you couldn't keep
you were never really there
Now you've turned so cold
got nothing left to say,
you've frozen up my...
