I wear the guilt upon my chest
'Cause I feel like I earned it
And keep the bloodstains on my hands
To show that I've done this
Oh how I wish I could escape that day
Take back time and make everything ok
But I can't

There must be something in my lungs
That keeps me from breathing
As deep and full as I once could
Now my mind starts repeating
Oh the pictures in my head
They roll like the movies
I shut my eyes to cut the thread
But my memory shows no mercy

Still I won't give up
No I won't give up now
No I won't give up now
No I won't give up now
Too many dreams I didn't want to dream
Too many night alone where I can't sleep

I've got the devil on my back
Trying to take home from me
But I see Jesus out in front
He's reaching back for the lonely
Reaching back 'cause he loves me
I take his hand because she loved me
No I won't give up now
