Sometimes
Life can weigh upon your shoulders
Pressure
Too heavy for me to shoulder
But when
I just hand it over
You take the load and make it light
Whatever's left you make it right for me
God, for me
I find my life when I lose it in you
I gain control when I give it to you
I save myself when I let you save me
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is you
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is you
Sometimes
There are things I question
But I do it without
The God who answers questions
So I try to figure it out myself
But I've learned my lesson
You take the load and make it light
Whatever's dim you make it bright for me
God, for me
I find my life when I lose it in you
I gain control when I give it to you
I save myself when I let you save me
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is you
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is you
(Ohh I, ohh I)
I finally know what real love is like
(Ohh I, ohh I)
And I can't believe it took all this time
(Ohh I, ohh I)
I'm glad I got a friend in this fight
I, I love you to life
I find my life when I lose it in you
I gain control when I give it to you
I save myself when I let you save me
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is you
Yeah, the best thing I can do for me is you
