I wanted for someone to embrace me
to love me regardless of my past
I wanted to feel the warmth
but all I could end up finding was the cold shoulder
Can’t seem to muster the grace
Can’t seem to understand what it means to seek your face
I longed for someone who would accept me
A savior who would offer me life
Thirsty for something, drinking of filthy water
I don’t want to give my heart away,
No not yet, not to someone who would hurt me
haven’t been loved by someone before like you love me
Trying to think of something that will ease my pain away
Then you told me that my life mattered enough that it didn’t have to end that way
I thought you were crazy, and I turned my ears away not wanting the truth
But all this for nothing, because none of it was true
I was believing the lie that was whispered to me
The lie you are worthless, and you should be rejected
So I have decided to not live my life dejected because the lion is hungry
Waiting for someone who he can devour, so in my darkest hour I will choose to be free
Free of the bondage of the sin I keep in my closet
