I Can't Pretend

I can’t pretend that the weight on my shoulders is nothing

So lets just pretend for today that it’s just me and you.

Let’s just pretend that for the next few minutes that all the things I feel could be true.

I feel like I need you more than I’ve ever needed anyone.

I feel that life just doesn’t make much sense anymore.

I feel like everything deep inside is breaking down and I, I need you.

I need you. I need you. I need you.

I’m running, I’m running to you will you catch me when

I’m falling will you pull me through?

Take hold of me, take hold of me, take hold of me when I break hold of me, break hold of me, break hold of me.

I’m scared of jumping, the ground seems like it’s just so far down.

Not sure if I break, will you catch all the pieces that fall?

The silence is deafening, I can’t tell if you are just missing, or If you are speaking, and I’m just not listening at all.

I need you, I need you.

I’m running, I’m running to you will you catch me when I’m falling will you pull me through? Take hold of me, take hold of me, take hold of me when I break hold of me, break hold of me, break hold of me.

So lost in my ways hide away in my shame trying desperately now just to numb all the pain. All the secrets inside, all my hurt and my pride, got to fight to break through. Do I really want to to? But you offer me life. For me, you’ll sacrifice and restore all my heart you can tear me apart. Give me hope, give me strength, forget all the pretence. This is all that I know Please God, don’t let me go.

I need you, I need you
