I Still Want My Own Way

I put my heart upon the alter, but I want to take it back
I have to fight the pain inside for there’s still one thing I lack

I still want my own way
I want to choose which path I take
I need to have it my way
Don’t want to leave it up to fate
You say You have a plan for me before the world took shape
Still I refuse, I have to choose
My own way

I lay my life before You to do as You have done
But I cannot lie, no matter how I try, I’m not fooling anyone

I still want my own way
I want to choose which path I take
I need to have it my way
Don’t want to leave it up to fate
You say You have a plan for me before the world took shape
Still I refuse, I have to choose
My own way

When will I learn to trust Your plan
I fall again and with bloodied hands

I still want my own way
I want to choose which path I take
I need to have it my way
Don’t want to leave it up to fate
You say You have a plan for me before the world took shape
Still I refuse, I have to choose

My own way

Talk About It

Talking about life, taking one moment at a time
Talking about dreams, when they aren’t worth a dime
Talking about love, feeling left out in the cold
Talking about fame, is it worth selling out your soul

Put your money where your mouth is and start doing what you say
Talking might make you feel better, but it won’t put you on your way
I’m tired of hearing about it and not seeing any change
So back your words with actions instead of empty claims

Talking about hope, one day we will receive
Talking about faith, we all need something to believe
Talking about mercy, overlooking what’s been done
Talking about grace, but are we helping anyone

Put your money where your mouth is and start doing what you say
Talking might make you feel better, but it won’t put you on your way
I’m tired of hearing about it and not seeing any change
So back your words with actions instead of empty claims

Talking about talking, the whole world needs to hear
Words are often muttered, but what you do speaks loud and clear

Put your money where your mouth is and start doing what you say
Talking might make you feel better, but it won’t put you on your way
I’m tired of hearing about it and not seeing any change
So back your words with actions instead of empty claims

Who am I Without You

The world used to be, full of endless possibility
Now it’s bleak and empty, no longer holding any joy for me
I want to let go, I want to escape
But I’m still haunted, by the look on your face

When you said good-bye, I swore to myself I wouldn’t cry
As you walked away, I said I wouldn’t fall apart, not today
But what else can I do, who am I without you

I thought I was strong, standing on my own I know I was wrong
I don’t belong, I guess I played the fool for too long
I need to back down, I need to move on
But I still can’t accept, that you’re gone

When you said good-bye, I swore to myself I wouldn’t cry
As you walked away, I said I wouldn’t fall apart, not today
But what else can I do, who am I without you

A crumbling city, a broken down wall
What’s left of me, there’s nothing at all

When you said good-bye, I swore to myself I wouldn’t cry
As you walked away, I said I wouldn’t fall apart, not today
But what else can I do, who am I without you

Misunderstanding

Look at you
Sitting there
Looking at me
As if you understood

Look at me
Sitting here
Looking at you
Wishing that you could
