Stories


So I heard about Jesus on the radio
I was humming along like it was a song that I've always known
And I never get past my circumstance
I'm a recidivist with a desperate wish for one last chance
But if I could hear you breathing just this once, but if I could hear you breathing just this once

Tell me your story, and I'll tell you mine
We'll sing them like a song about how love just wasn't right
I've been waiting on my heart like it's hard to find
I'm so tired of giving up one breath at a time

I know it's hard for someone to change
But the promise we made is like a crowded parade I just can't escape
I've never known, never known what it meant
I’ve got nothing to give, just this moment to live, but maybe that's well spent
But if I could hear you breathing just this once, but if I could hear you breathing just this once

Tell me your story, and I'll tell you mine
We'll sing them like a song about how love just wasn't right
I've been waiting on my heart like it's hard to find
I'm so tired of giving up one breath at a time

I swear I won't stop now, I'll push on through when I don't know how
I'll bury the old me in the ground
I'm never giving up, I won't quit now I've not had enough
I'll drink it down, this bitter cup

So tell me your story, and I'll tell you mine
We'll sing them like a song about how love just wasn't right
I've been waiting on my heart like it's hard to find
I'm so tired of giving up one breath at a time
