Lyrics for Surrender

I was at my weakest state And you kept me pushing on You gave me something to believe in And it keeps me standing strong These lessons that I've learned These things I'll carry on And when you're gone I'll honor you Each day, however long This glimmer of hope was never enough To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough I held out for and I received A pain that never left with no reprieve Like a toast at a table where resentments run free There can't be any truth where there's no honesty Like an apple from the tree You were lock jawed in your ways A reminder of myself in those long forgotten days Thought you'd stayed off my path But I just couldn't see that the blood that's in your veins Is the same that runs through me This glimmer of hope was never enough To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough I held out for and I received A pain that never left with no reprieve Like a toast at a table where resentments run free There can't be any truth where there's no honesty I had it all but lost my faith And then you lead me to it Today I'll carry on I had it all but lost my faith And now I've renewed it These things I'll carry on
