I haven't got the time to hold my breath
nor words to keep your hurting soul from breaking
I haven't found the peace I need to go on
Nor have I been released from the struggle that you gave me

So I looked within my vanities to find the words
but what I found were just cruel insecurities

No I never meant to hurt someone
especially the ones I love
am I holding on and wasting time
should I give up now and just survive?

Oh stop it all your moanings all your groanings hurt me
Stop talking like your purpose isn't written in the water
look deep down past the liar who's looking back

I know it hurts believe me I have felt it puncture
my hopes and dreams and even all the things I thought were proper
why did you give me a heart
that could be broken so easily?

Forging roads and opening the doors
that lead me far from avenues of safety
I know that fear of what will be won't aid me
and the power of eternity pervades thee

I reside my fears inside the God that I believe is strong enough
to defend my mind and define my cause
and my mind will shout I'll scream it out

Oh stop it all your moanings all your groanings hurt me
Stop talking like your purpose isn't written in the water
look deep down past the liar who's looking back

I know it hurts believe me I have felt it puncture
my hopes and dreams and even all the things I thought were proper
why did you give me a heart
that could be broken so easily?

I'm running far off from my hiding place
where my fears and understandings were all rooted in sin
but in this world of fading consequence my feet are aligned

Is this feeling that's inside of me a result of what is meant to be
the stakes are high but I am proud
and the voice inside me screams aloud.

Oh stop it all your moanings all your groanings hurt me
Stop talking like your purpose isn't written in the water
look deep down past the liar who's looking back

I know it hurts believe me I have felt it puncture
my hopes and dreams and even all the things I thought were proper
why did you give me a heart
that could be broken so easily?
