The harder they fall



We all want what we deserve
Unless it's going to hurt
And I would rather earn my bread
Off the sweat of someone else's face
Than use my own strength

We work so hard to reserve this dream
That's a nightmare
And now my eyes are used to the dark

There is no one left
Who isn't better than the rest
I need to hear you say that I'm the best

Absurdity reigns
And confusion makes it look good
A poor man's kingdom
Or a rich man's delusion
Mad men in authority hear voices in the air
Distilling their frenzy
From academic scribblers in despair

We work so hard to reserve this dream
That's a nightmare
And now my eyes are used to the dark

There is no one left
Who isn't better than the rest
I need to hear you say
There is no one left
Who isn't better than the rest
I need to hear you say that I'm the best

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
Your ego is swelling
Your heart is so small

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
Your ego is swelling
Your heart is so small

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
Your ego is swelling
Your heart is so small
The bigger they are
The harder they fall
Your ego is swelling

There is no one left
Who isn't better than the rest
I need to hear you say
The bigger they are
The harder they fall

The message



By the looks of things we still have time
But not that much so savor it
Cause what you want and what you need are different things
But you can't see that you've lost control of yourself
And you're going to need more outside help if you're ever going to make a change

Don't you look at me (How could you blame me?)
I believed in the person you used to be (I tried so hard to believe)
But now things have changed (I knew this would happen)
You threw it away (I wanted to help you)
I still believe (with all of my heart) there's hope for you

Did you think that I was going to leave?
After all we've been through, all the things we've seen
You've given up, but I'm not giving up on you
My love remains, there's nothing you can do

By the number of messages on your phone
It looks like you may not be missed if you left or if you did not exist
But you do exist for a reason
You're beautiful, He created you
Tonight's it's time to drop your guard and finally stop telling lies

We can work this out
It will all be fine
I tell myself this all the time

We're together in this now



She asked me if I loved Jesus and does that make you better than me?
A better liar and faker and hider than you, but I'm not better than you
Cause Jesus loved me first, when I was not so lovely

Cause I need grace just as much as you do
Just as much as you do
Cause I make mistakes just as much as you do
Just as much as you do

I'm so poor when it comes to consistency but so rich when it comes to grace
Would you trade this life for anything? I can see the answer's on your face
We're in this together now and I know we'll make it out

What if it's all in my head



You have made us to be like you
Now we've made you one of us
And we've locked you inside this box called our minds
We're so confused

I've been thinking about the things I think I know
I won't know for sure until I'm home

What if it's all in my head?

There's a field of peace way out beyond
What I thought was right and you thought was wrong
I'll meet you there and together we'll find truth

I've been thinking about the things I'll tell my son
And I'm not sure if I should be the one

When did we change



All this time I was thinking you were mine
You promised me you would never leave
Guess you changed your mind

Whoa, I did not see this coming
Oh no, no, Oh no, Oh no

When did we change, when did we lose it?
Were we in love, or did we confuse it with promises we couldn't keep?
I'm still in love, I know we can do this
But you moved on, you're already through with me

We went from naming our kids to changing your name in my phone
And all the time I spent with you, I spend it alone

Hold on there's so much more to say
Hold on do you really feel this way?
Wait, hold up, there's so much more to say
Wait, hold up, you really feel this way?

You build a wall



These walls are high, much taller than this room
If you want in it's gonna to cost you
Stop right there, that's the closest that you're ever gonna to get
One step more, and I'll make a run for it

But there is something different in your eyes
And I will let you in every single time

You, you, and only you! You make me so brave
You make me want to change my ways
You, you and only you! You make me so strong
From now on, I'm yours

I feel so small like an extra in someone else's scene
And when the credits roll my minor roll won't even make the screen
Then you crack a smile and I forget all about myself

Change my ways
You, you and only you! So strong
I'm yours
