Lyrics Sarah Mclachlan

Sarah Mclachlan

Fallen

Heaven bent to take my hand

And lead me through the fire

Be the long awaited 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've 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 can be undone

But we carry on our backs the burden time always reveals

In the lonely light of morning

In the wound that would not heal

It's the bitter taste of losing everything, I've held so dear

I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I've 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

I have nowhere left to turn

I've 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 redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen

I have sunk so low

I've messed up better

I should know

So don't come 'round here

And tell me I told you so, no

I've messed up better

I should know

But don't come 'round here

And tell me I told you so
