[Hook] I almost let go But You wouldn’t let me I was one breath from the edge But mercy met me Had both hands on the dark Like it could help me I almost let go But You wouldn’t let me You wouldn’t let me You wouldn’t let me Too far gone But You still came to get me [Verse 1] I don’t know how to explain that night Room went quiet, chest stayed tight Phone face down, no missed calls Just me and God and these thin walls I was tired of pretending I was strong Tired of smiling when something was wrong Had a Bible on the dresser gathering dust Had a heart full of fear and distrust Then a whisper cut through like, “I’m closer than close” When I felt too dead for hope I didn’t feel holy I didn’t feel brave I just felt a hand reaching into the grave [Pre-Chorus] I was falling But grace was faster I was shattered But He held the fracture [Hook] I almost let go But You wouldn’t let me I was one breath from the edge But mercy met me Had both hands on the dark Like it could help me I almost let go But You wouldn’t let me [Verse 2] People saw my face, not the war underneath Saw me standing, not the blood on my knees Saw the version I could fake in a room Not the one crying out in the gloom I was mad at the sky like, “Why still pain?” “Why call it grace if I still feel chained?” Then You met me in the place I hid Not ashamed of the things I did You didn’t lecture You didn’t shame You just called me By my name [Pre-Chorus] I was falling But grace was faster I was shattered But He held the fracture [Bridge / Breakdown] I SHOULD’VE BEEN GONE BUT I’M STILL BREATHING I SHOULD’VE BEEN LOST BUT I’M STILL REACHING I COULDN’T HOLD ON BUT GOD HELD SOMETHING HELD MY NAME HELD MY MIND HELD MY SOUL WHEN I LOST MINE TOLD THE DARK “NOT THIS TIME” NOT THIS ONE NOT MY CHILD [Final Hook] I almost let go But You wouldn’t let me I was one breath from the edge But mercy met me Had both hands on the dark Like it could help me I almost let go But You wouldn’t let me You wouldn’t let me You wouldn’t let me Too far gone But You still came to get me [Outro] I didn’t survive because I was strong. I survived because mercy was stronger.
