Tell me wrong
Tell me Right
I don't want empty words tonight
I want to be real
More than I feel
I can see my life is, molding into yours
I receive, all these cries that soften everything I fight
This battle inside, only to feel this constant hope for me
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be the words that you spoke
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be, the words that you've spoken to me
I feel it so strong
My heart and my mind
Only to reconnect this truth divine
To show, my faith every day
Only to walk this life that you've displayed
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be, the words that you've spoke
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be, the words that you've spoken to me
Spoken to me
I've chosen now to take each step and follow in life or death
And I'm living now to only give my all...
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be, the words that you've spoke
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be, the words that you've spoke
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be, the words that you've spoke
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be, the words that you've spoken to me...
The words that you've spoken to me...
I want to stand by
I want to live by
I want to be, the words that you've spoken to me...
