Reside

All your faith please put in me
For I am the one that will always be
By your side and never tire
Hold your hand through the fire
And if you ever chose to go

Turn your back, but always know
You may have strayed and I may have lied
But in my heart you still reside

Hold me for the last time
Let me dream, let me find
A way back home
A place unknown
please don't leave now
Because I just don't know how
Just how to carry on
Without the light that you ve shown.

And don't let go, to the hand that holds
I promise I'll find, my way in time

The devil he lives in me
Laughs at my misery
Jumps at the chance to be
Front row to watch me bleed
Says he's a friend of mine
Never had one so kind
Walking on broken glass
Wonder how long it lasts

If I pray, would it ease my pain?
Did I lose, at my own game?

Does he hear me?

Did you stop to think
What was on the brink
All the damage done
When you broke and run

At the crossroads you'll find
The girl that was left behind
Her soul is for sale
But she has a story to tell

Her words, they strike your nerve
You pray she'll find, her way in time

Is he listening?

And if you still chose to go
Turn your back but always know
You may have strayed and I may have lied
But in my heart you still reside.
