Hold Me Back (Piano Demo) Lyrics by Jason Gray

Everything Sad is Coming Untrue (Special Edition)

0

Put my feet in concrete
Tie my hands behind me
'Cause I can feel the pull
Of the man I was before
Put your blinders on me
Wrap your arms around me
'Cause I'm afraid that
I might run right out that door
If you don't hold me back
Hold me back
'Cause it's just like me
To run from the one who loves me
Father please, hold me back
Be the strength I lack
'Cause it's just like me
To run from the one that I need
Take the wind from my sail
Throw the anchor over my rails
'Cause I know I'm not always
The quickest to concede
When it's best that I fail
Don't let my will prevail
'Cause my salvation
Is my magnificent defeat
I need you to hold me back
Because I was never able
To save myself in the first place
So why would I think I could do it now
Left to my inventions
And the best of my intentions
We know I'd only destroy myself
If you don't hold me back
Hold me back
'Cause it's just like me
To run from the one who loves me
Father please, hold me back
Be the strength I lack
'Cause it's just like me to run
But you hold me back
You hold me back
'Cause it's just like you
To run to the one who needs you
You hold me back
Hold me back
It's just like you
To love me better than I do
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Your courts above
