It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room

I've crossed the last line
From where I can't return
Where every step I took in faith
Betrayed me
And led me from my home

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

You take me in
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness
That surrounds me

Are you an angel
Am I already that gone
I only hope
That I won't disappoint you

When I'm down here
On my knees

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

And I don't understand
By the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything, about you

It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
