Lyrics

Here I go again, letting her get to me
Will I give my anger up to Him or let it win again

Show my feet a better way
Teach my mouth what to say
Show my arms how to move
It's all for you
If I falter give me the push I need
I'll know it's done in love
Because you love me

Look at her walk away
While all the things I should have said are welling up inside me
I could have used the love you gave me
Instead I turned to my pride and let her have every word

You would think I might have learned
When my relationships get burned
I've got to lose myself to find your answers
Won't you fill me with your love
When it seems I've reached the top of my cup
Just keep pouring on until it's spilling over
Showing that you're the only answer for everyone

Show my feet a better way
Teach my mouth what to say
Show my arms how to move
Show me what to do, because

I'm not giving up this time
I'm going after her
And if she gives me what I deserve
I'm still going after her
To say I'm sorry
