We have been running away
We have been hiding
We have been making mistakes
And then denying
All of the things that make us who we are
Fallen from grace and yet restored
We have been giving our time
To all the wrong things
We have been saving our cash
And yet not helping
All of the ones we call our neighbors
Everyone you said to love
Afraid of being hurt
We only give until it costs us something
So they won't see the worst
We tell ourselves it's better
They see nothing
But we diminish everything you are
By hiding out inside ourselves
We need
To return
To return to you
We are a body in debt
And need of healing
We need a light upon all
We've been concealing
Nothing is whole without it's pieces
Bearing the burden all as one
Afraid of being hurt
We only give until it costs us something
So they won't see the worst
We tell ourselves it's better
They see nothing
But we diminish everything you are
By hiding out inside ourselves
We need
To return
To return to you
We are unwilling
And we are cold
For fear the darkness
Will be exposed
But if we hold on
To all our secrets
We only forfeit
Our chance at freedom
