How long will I go on 
turning my back and closing my eyes 
wishing you were here but pretening you're dead 
it's not so bad here in mediocraty 
no one expects much of me 
but I think of you and your thoughts of me 
I hurt so badly but I can't leave 

You kiss me when I'm sleeping 
when I have no will to wake 
it's will that keeps me from you 
it's a change I'll have to make 

Will I ever be able to do the things my heart feels for you? 
am I able to stop the things I do not want to do? 
I want to hold the hand that guides me and loves me 
but this stubborn will has its hold on me 
misery is my cradle, i'm dying in my needs 
will providence shine his face on me? 

Pick me up off this floor out of this mess I've made for myself 
my flesh is weak but my spirit is willing 
river's bridge of stones I'll fall water deep 
your whirlpool love will hold me still 
I'm safe in the cradle when I'm in your light 
spirit come and make everything alright
