I wear the guilt upon my chest
'Cause I feel like I've earned it
And keep the blood stains on my hands
To show that I've done this
Oh, how I wish I could escape that day
Take back time and make everything okay
But I can't

There must be something in my lungs
That keeps me from breathing
As deep and full as I once could
Now my mind starts repeating
All the pictures in my head
That roll like the movies
I shut my eyes to cut the tread
But my memory shows no mercy

Still I won't give up now
No, I won't give up now
No, I won't give up now
No, I won't give up now

Too many dreams I didn't want to dream
Too many nights alone where I can't sleep
I've got the devil on my back
Trying to take hope from me
But I see Jesus out in front,
He's reaching back for the lonely
Reaching back 'cause he loves me
I take his hand because she loved me
