(slow, moody tempo – echo guitar, soft percussion, layered ambient pads) Verse 1 Don’t tear me apart, Lord, in your anger, Don’t break me down beneath your rage. I’m only human, I’m falling under, My bones are trembling on this stage. Pre-Chorus I’m worn out from crying through the night, My pillow’s soaked in tears, I’ve lost the fight. Chorus Come back, heal me — I’m fading slow, Save me, Lord, don’t let me go. How long till mercy floods this pain? How long till sunlight breaks again? Verse 2 I’m drowning in regret and fever, My heart’s grown thin beneath the weight. The grave can’t sing your name forever, So let your love illuminate. Pre-Chorus The dark is loud, but I still call your name, The echoes answer — I am not the same. Chorus Come back, heal me — I’m fading slow, Save me, Lord, don’t let me go. How long till mercy floods this pain? How long till sunlight breaks again? Bridge You’ve heard me cry, you’ve seen me break, My enemies will fade away. Your light still burns beneath my skin — I breathe again, I breathe again. Final Chorus (softer, falsetto) Come back, heal me — I’m fading slow, Save me, Lord, don’t let me go. Now mercy floods, the pain subsides, And sunlight breaks across my eyes.
