Oh won't you show what you're feeling
Is it too much to ask that your heart be revealing
Just a little bit, Oh just a little bit, just a little
I don't think I've ever informed you I love you desperately
Even while I only know you just a little bit
Oh, just a little bit, just a little
Oh how'd we get so disconnected?
My heart is shutting down, I just can't let it
So I'll run forward and pray you fall back
Grace will come and clear your path, yeah
I'll run forward and you fall back
Come back
Oh you treat your time like you own it
It's slipping fast away, and you're not getting younger
Not even a bit, no not even a bit, no not at all
This love is a battle we're fighting, you've laid your armor down
Oh and now I can't fight it
Not even a bit, no not even a bit, no not at all
Oh, you took your love for granted
But, oh, it never left you for a second
So I'll run forward and pray you fall back
Grace will come and clear your path, yeah
I'll run forward and you fall back
Oh I'll run forward and you fall back
You made me afraid
Thank you I've gotta thank you
Cause now I know His strength
Thank you, Oh God I thank You
So please don't run away, no, don't go
So I'll run forward and pray you run back
Grace will come and clear my path, yeah
I'll run forward if you run back
Yeah I'll run forward if you run back
Oh I'll run forward and you fall back
Come back
I'll pray you come back, my love, come back
And grace will come to clear your path
Oh I'll run forward if you fall back
Come back, my love, come back
