Lyrics
I’m sorry for the advice I gave
It wasn’t my life to save
I wasn’t helping you
To try and walk the line
When I was really a slave
The lessons that I learned
Were never sanctified or burned
Into my heart, a sign
Declaring whom I serve
But you shine through me
You shine through me
I want to let it out
To you I surrender
It’s not about what I need
It’s what you want from me
I never thought it would end this way
I thought that I could save the day
But now I know that every word
Was blurred the moment that I fell away
I’m giving you control
I never wanted to before but now I know
You died to resurrect my soul
But you shine through me
You shine through me
I want to let it out
To you I surrender
It’s not about what I need
It’s what you want from me
Because my body should be hollow
I filled it up with things that I don’t need
To hide away from who I ought to be
So let this be the last that this world sees
Of the man that once was me
Let it be an offering so I can sing
And you can shine through me
