12 Stones

Sometimes I feel like I am so far away
I'm lost inside my thoughts and I don't know what to say
I know I need you now more every day
I push I pull I run so far away

(chorus)
And I'm sick and tired of living this way
Sick and tired of being alone
Sick and tired of running from your love

Sometimes I feel like I am so far away
I'm lost inside my mind won't you help me find my way
And I know I need you now more every day
I push I pull I run so far away

(chorus 3x)
Well I'm sick sick sick and tired baby

Fear falls hard like rain again
Washing over me
You say nothing will ever change
What do I believe
You fall deep inside again
There's nothing left to see
Weakness fills your heart again

You put it to rest

Forfeit everything cause
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

I try to see your face again
A photograph of me
Your voice calling out again
Nothing left for me
You try to find your place again
Waiting just to breathe
We mistake your heart again

You put it to rest

Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again

Forfeit everything cause
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Forfeit everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

Did you
Forget about the things I said
Fight the lies inside your head
Deny those who try to bring you down
Kill the pain and emptyness
Find the love and lose yourself
But life is like your just a memory

Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again

Forfeit everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up....

I find myself in question again
And I doubt this Love you've given to me
I hope you understand when I say
I need this time to myself

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life

I know your open arms too well
Cause I뭭e lost myself there many times before
I need to slowly fall away
Far from the grip you have on me

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you
I need to find my own way
It's my life

I gotta get away
One step away
I gotta get away
Just one step away
I gotta away you're pushing me away
I gotta get away
Well I'm gone

It's my life
I find myself in question again
and I doubt this love you've givin to me
I hope you understand when I say I need this time to myself

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
Well it's my life

I know your open arms too well
cause I've lost myself so many times before
I need to slowly fall away
fall from the, the grip you have on me

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you
I need to find my own way
Cause it's my life

I'm fed up with this
you try to take
can't get away
I can't live like this
leave me alone
I'll never be
never be my own person
gotta get away
one step away
gotta get away
just one step away
I gotta get away
I'm pushin me away
I gotta get away
WELL I'M GONE!

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you
I need to find my own way
Cause it's my life
IT'S MY LIFE!

As he raises his hand you begin to understand
That no love is worth the hate that you feel
Now you're running out of pain
And all these feelings feel the same
So you close your eyes and wish it all away

And I lie awake and I try to say
Anything I know just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
And it's only you that can set you free

Now the time has come again
So you reach to God within
To find the strength that you have buried there
As you turn to walk away you can still hear him say
You'll never make it in this world alone

And I lie awake and I try to say
Anything I know just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
And it's only you that can set you free

You try to fight (you try to fight)
You hide the pain (you hide the pain)
You walk away (never again)

You try to fight (you try to fight)
You hide the pain (you hide the pain)
You walk away (never again)

And I lie awake and I try to say
Anything I know just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
And it's only you that can set you free

I'm reaching out without a sound
My pride falls to the floor again
Inside my mind I search to find
A place just to call my own

Deep inside your eyes
I am blinded by your love
Still I run so far just to find that
I'm alone again

In my head
I hear you calling me
And I can't run 'cause there's nothing left for me
When I fall you always follow me deep inside
Deep inside
Deep inside of my head

I just can't last as these feelings pass
Once again I hide the pain inside
The smile wears thin and the lies begin
To bring me down again

Deep inside your eyes
I am blinded by your love
Still I run so far just to find that
I'm alone again

In my head
I hear you calling me
And I can't run 'cause there's nothing left for me
When I fall you always follow me deep inside of my head

When I run I run so far away from you
I hide the pain and all the lies deep inside again
And all my faith I put in you
This time you take it all away

In my head
I hear you calling me
and I can't run 'cause there's nothing left for me
When I fall you always follow me deep inside
Deep inside
Deep inside of my head

Inside my head
Inside my head

Deep inside my
My head

Every morning as I wake to another day
I bow my head hit my knees and I begin to pray
I search for answers that I wonder if I'll ever find
Running circles in the mazes deep inside my mind
You always take me to a higher level
Show me something that's deep inside
You show me things I never knew

You push me you pull me

You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all

Everyday living this life not knowing what it means
Consolation from above fulfilling all my dreams
And as I look across the crowd in their eyes I see
All their troubles and their pain staring back at me
You always take me to a higher level
Show me something that's deep inside
You show me things I never knew
You push me you pull me

You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all

You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all

You always give the best for me
Lift your hands high right where I can see
You always give the best for me
Lift your hands high right where I can see

You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all

I hear the words you say to me
I see the way you look at me
I know what's on your mind so
Stand up get up back up now
Just stay away

I know the fear you hold inside
I know what's weighing on your mind
There's nothing you can do so
Stand up get up back up

You're reaching out just to be like me
But you've fallen short
Still you're following me
You had the chance to bring me down
But there's nothing left
So just stay away from me

You can't stand to see my face
To know you'll never take my place
There's nothing you can do but
Stand up get up back up now
Just stay away

I feel the hate you push on me
I see the things that you can't see
I know what's on your mind so
Stand up get up back up

You're reaching out just to be like me
But you've fallen short
Still you're following me
You had the chance to bring me down
But there's nothing left
So just stay away from me

It's not the things you say to me
It's not the things that I believe
You try to bring me down
So stand up get up back up now just stay away

It's not the things you say to me
It's not the things that I believe
You try to bring me down
So stand up get up back up

You're reaching out just to be like me
But you've fallen short
Still you're following me
You had the chance to bring me down
But there's nothing left
So just stay away from me
Now just stay away from me
Won't you stay away from me
Please just stay away from me
Just stay away

I need you to feel exactly like I do inside
But I feel so alone again
I try to find a better life
Somewhere far away from here
But I need you to believe in me

But I won't be afraid
Just because you don't need me
I will not be ashamed
Just because you don't believe in anything that I say
Now I turn and I walk away from you

I won't fade away
I won't fade away again

I find you down the road that I have walked before
And I know you're alone again
You try to find a better life
Somewhere far away from here
But I need you to believe in me

But I won't be afraid
Just because you don't need me
I will not be ashamed
Just because you don't believe in anything that I say
Now I turn and I walk away from you

I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no

You try to make me fade away
you try to make me fade away
you try to make me fade away
you try to make me fade

but i wont be afraid
just because you dont need me
i will not be ashamed
just because you dont believe in
anything that i say now i turn and i walk away
from you i wont fade away no
I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no

In my eyes you see the pain
With each lie I take the blame
With each sigh I slowly fall away

You are there when I need you
You sew me up when I bleed through
The endless cloth of lies surrounding me

Everything that I am you have given me
The lessons that I've learned are bringing me home
It's everything that I need
It's all the truth that I believe
Right where I need to be
Just bring me home

I hide in darkness blind to sense
Chasing a dream with false pretense
Help me find the fracture in this dark sky
Everything that I believe is slowly overtaking me
I'm just trying to find my way back home

Everything that I am you have given me
The lessons that I've learned are bringing me home
It's everything that I need
It's all the truth that I believe
Right where I need to be
Just bring me home
Endless days are haunting me
Open eyes and I can't see
I need this now rescue me
Just bring me home

You cant bring me down 'Cause I'm going home
You cant bring me down 'Cause I'm going home
You cant bring me down 'Cause I'm going home
You cant bring me down 'Cause I'm going home!

It's everything that I need
It's all the truth that I believe
Right where I need to be
Just bring me home
Endless days are haunting me
Open eyes and I can't see
I need this now rescue me
Just bring me home

When I look into your eyes
I see a lot of hate
Pushing me away
You're haunted by a past
A past that brings you down
So you throw it all away
Again

Just try to find a place deep within your soul
And don't deny the child living deep inside
Open your eyes and find
This life's better than you know
It's in your hands now
Just open up your eyes

Deep inside of your mind
You're forced to believe
That nothing's gonna change
So I take you by the hand
And I lead you to a place
A place of happiness
Like this

Just try to find a place deep within your soul
And don't deny the child living deep inside
Open your eyes and find
This life's better than you know
It's in your hands now
Just open up your eyes

Don't throw it away
Don't throw it away

Just try to find a place deep within your soul
And don't deny the child living deep inside
Open your eyes and find
This life's better than you know
It's in your hands now
Just open up your eyes

Just try to find a place deep within your soul
And don't deny the child living deep inside
Open your eyes and find
This life's better than you know
It's in your hands now
Just open up your eyes

Lately I've been wandering
Off the narrow path
You've given me so many things that I've never had
And all in all I know it's you that always pulls me through
If you reach deep inside you'll see my heart is true

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice

The world I know is pulling me
More and more each day
I feel like the odd man out as I begin to pray
Spiteful eyes are watching me
With everything I do
In the midst of darkness Lord
My spirit calls for you

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice

You know sometimes
Deep inside
I feel like this

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice

The way I feel

Alone again again alone
Patiently waiting by the phone
Hoping that You will call me home
The pain inside my love denied
Hopes and dreams swallowed by pride
Everything I need it lies in You

'Cause I'm broken
You know I need You now
Deep inside I'm broken
You see the way I live
I know, know Your heart is broken
When I turn away
I need to be broken
Take the pain away
Yeah

I question why You chose to die
When you knew your truth I would deny
You look at me
The tears begin to fall(they fall)
And all in all faith is blind
But I fail time after time
Daily in my sin I take Your life

'Cause I'm broken
You know I need You now
Deep inside I'm broken
You see the way I live
I know, know Your heart is broken
When I turn away
I need to be broken
Take the pain away
Yeah

All the hate deep inside
Slowly covering my eyes
All these things I hide
Away from You again
All this fear holding me
My heart is cold and I believe
Nothing's gonna change
Until I'm broken

'Cause I'm broken
You know I need You now
Deep inside I'm broken
You see the way I live
I know, know Your heart is broken
When I turn away
I need to be broken
Take the pain away
Yeah

Broken!
Broken!
Broken!
Broken!

As I lie here tossing in my bed
Lost in my fears remembering what you said
And I try to hide the truth within
The mask of myself shows its face again
Still I lie here time and time again
Will you deny me when we meet again?

And I feel like I'm falling
Farther every day
But I know that you're there
Watching over me
And I feel like I'm drowning
The waves crashing over me
But I know that your love
It will set me free

As I find truth where I found it times before
As I search for your hope
I'm finding so much more
And I try to be more like you
And I deny myself to prove my heart is true

And I feel like I'm falling
Farther every day
But I know that you're there
Watching over me
And I feel like I'm drowning
The waves crashing over me
But I know that your love
It will set me free

I hear your voice calling
The time has come for me
Inside this life I'm living
There's nothing left for me
My mind is slowly fading
So far away from me
Each time I start crawling
You're there watching me

And I feel like I'm falling
Farther every day
But I know that you're there
Watching over me
And I feel like I'm drowning
The waves crashing over me
But I know that your love
It will set me free

I feel so alone
Again
I know that I need you
To help me make it through the night
And I pray that you believe in me
You gave me my strength to face another day alone

I need you now, my friend
More than you know
When will we meet again?
Cause I can't let go of you

This world brings me down
Again
I know that I need you
To help me make it through the night
Cause I know that you're the one for me
You gave me my strength to face another day alone

I need you now, my friend
More than you know - yeah yeah
When will we meet again?
Cause I can't let go, I can't let go

As time passes by
I find things never seem to change
When I feel alone
You bring me back to you

And I need you now, my friend
More than you know
When will we meet again?
Cause I can't let go of you

No, I can't let go
