[Verse 1] How do I listen? How do I give back? I’ve taken what I don’t own I’ve given what I don’t have I just want to hold I want to give strength I want to give gold But I hold at arms length [Pre-Chorus] I see beauty I see grace I feel duty And reach for its face I feel too little To make it right Still I’m reaching Through the night [Chorus] Tell me now Should I cut the cord? Tell me now Should I cut the cord? My ego talks But I want more (I wield a broken sword) (I wield a broken sword) [Verse 2] I see my hands They shake with pride I keep the answer On the wrong side I want to bless you With steady hands But every good thing Slips through my plans [Pre-Chorus] I feel too little To give back A broken sword Cutting through black Tell me if I should let it fall Tell me if I should lose it all [Chorus] Tell me now Should I cut the cord? Tell me now Should I cut the cord? My ego talks But I want more (I wield a broken sword) (I wield a broken sword) [Bridge] If I cannot heal Then teach me how To stay awake And take a bow If I cannot hold Then let me learn To go with empty hands And not return [Final Chorus] Tell me now Should I cut the cord? Tell me now Should I cut the cord? My ego talks But I want more (I wield a broken sword) (I wield a broken sword)
