Lyrics
You've come to this place all on your own
To embrace a pain that's yours alone
Oh my God, what will I do?
Oh my God, what can I do?
But hold you
You've chosen this as a moth chooses flame
When you both have wings to take you away
And it sheds no light to try to explain
Oh my God, what will I do?
Oh my God, what can I do?
But hold you
You carry your burden so impossibly near
And it would come to rest if you'd only stand clear
You've come to this place all on your own
To face a pain who's time has come
Will you let it go, or let it take you down?
Oh my God, what will I do?
Oh my God, what can I do?
But hold you
Hold you
Hold you
