Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Control, I give up control, I can't carry this alone
I've tried for so long, I've tried to make it on my own
Now dreams are scattered on the ground
And now I'm on my knees
I, I can't help myself, I can't help myself
I'm gonna run to You
I, I can't help myself, I can't help myself
I'm gonna run to You, run to You
Weak, there are times I'm weak
If my scars could speak they'd say that grace is my only hope
Grace is showing me the way to where all my shadows disappear
And healing waits for me
I, I can't help myself, I can't help myself
I'm gonna run to You
I, I can't help myself, I can't help myself
I'm gonna run to You, run to You
What kind of love is this? Lifts me up and draws me in
Tonight, I'm just a heart running back home
When everything is pushed aside, all my plans and all my pride
Tonight, I'm just a heart coming back home
I can't help myself
I'm gonna run to You
I, I can't help myself, I can't help myself
I'm gonna run to You, run to You
I'm gonna run to You
