Seventeen and self-assured in secret so to blame
Hold it in, it's not a sin, it's just a shame
You're not alone, this man he loves you
In spite of everything you are
But not by my grace
(verse 2)
Of the shadows cast in corridors of human hearts
Faith is fact, my favourite fiction by far
And every step I've ever taken
In its grip, the core's the same
I've fallen on my face
(refrão)
I, I'm no more than what you see
Never let me halfway on a cross or on my knees
Time took all the faith I need
Born to stand on trial, abandoned by the hand that feeds
(verse 3)
Close your eyes and hold on, this will all be over soon
Just another pound of flesh before you go
And after all the dirt and pain and hate and sin has washed away
What's left of me to love?
(refrão)
I, I'm no more than what you see
Never let me halfway on a cross or on my knees
Time took all the faith I need
Born to stand on trial, abandoned by the hand that feeds
(brdige)
If you love me at all
Just let me go and be no more
(verse 4)
Jesus, though I don't believe in this whole give-and-take
Won't you just deliver me once more for old times' sake?
(refrão)
I, I'm no more than what you see
Never let me halfway on a cross or on my knees
Time took all the faith I need
Born to stand on trial, abandoned by the hand that feeds
I, I'm no more than what you see
Never let me halfway on a cross or on my knees
Time took all the faith I need
Born to stand on trial, abandoned, abandoned all faith
(outro)
My faith, my fears, all I believe
My home, my heart, all I have free
My smile, my tears, all I have free
Will die with you and this to see.
