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
