Are you feeling alone
Are you feeling like a child run away from home
Are you feeling afraid
Like your clever disguise has just been made
What are you worried about
Are you feeling like a thief that's just been found out
Are the walls caving in
Folding under the weight of your original sin
Can you let it go
And get out of the way of your own heart
Let it go
And get out of the way of your own heart
Now
Take yourself down off the line
Now
Show yourself a little grace
Does it cut like a knife
The war in your head between the wrong and the right
Have you been losing sleep
Are you haunted by the promises you didn't keep
Can you let it go
And get out of the way of your own heart
Let it go
And get out of the way of your own heart
Now
Take yourself down off the line
Now
Show yourself a little grace
Right now
Take yourself down off the line
Now
Show yourself a little mercy
Let it go
Get out of the way of your own heart
Let it go
Get out of the way of your own heart
Let it go
Get out of the way of your own heart
Let it go
Get out of the way of your own heart
Get out of the way of your own heart
Get out of the way of your own heart
Of your own heart
Get out of the way of your own heart
