Heaven bend 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 tried my best But somewhere along the way, I got caught up in all there was to offer But the cost was so much more than I could bear Though I've tried, I've 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 begin with good intent When love was raw and young We believe that we can change ourselves The past can be undone But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals In the lonely light of morning In the wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything I've held so dear I've 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 Oh, Heaven bend to take my hand I've nowhere left to turn I'm lost to 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 miss step, one slip, before you know it And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed Though I've tried, I've 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 Oh, I've messed up Better I should know Don't come 'round here and Tell me I told you so
