Fallen　　Sarah Mclachlan

Heaven bent¹ to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited² answer
to a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
but somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
and the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though i've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
better I should know
So don't come round here
and tell me i told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
the wound that would not heal
it's the bitter taste of losing everything
that i have held so dear.
fallen I have sunk so low
I have messed up
better I should know
So don't come round here
and tell me i told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those i thought were friends
to everyone i know
Oh they turned their heads embarrassed
pretend that they don't see
but it's one missed step
you'll slip before you know it
and there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed³

Though i've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
better I should know
So don't come round here
and tell me i told you so...
I have messed up
better I should know
So don't come round here
and tell me i told you so
