Times

Every once in a while I'll play music during my writing sessions. There are always those songs that you never get tired of, songs that bring back crazy memories, and songs that grasp the core of your heart and continue to every time you listen to them.

While writing today, this song by Tenth Avenue North started to play and I felt my heart get heavy. I'm so grateful for these lyrics today, and every time I listen to this song.

I know I need you
I need to love you
I love to see you,                                                                                                                                                 but its been so long
I long to feel you
I feel this need for you                                                                                                                                         and i need to hear you
is that so wrong?
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Now you pulled me near you
when we're close  fear you
still im afraid to tell you
all that i've done
are you done forgiving?
or can you look pass my pretending?
Lord I'm so tired of defending
what I've become
what have I become?
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

i hear you say "my love is over,
its underneath, its inside, its in between
the times you doubt me, when you can't feel
the times that you've questioned 'is this for real?'
the times you've broken, the times that you mend
the times you hate me and the times that you bend
well my love is over, its underneath
its inside, its in between,

these times you're healing
and when your heart breaks
the times that you feel like you've fallen from grace
the times you're hurting
the times that you heal
the times you go hungry and are tempted to steal
in times of confusion and chaos and pain
im there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame
im there through your heartache
im there in the storm
my love i will keep you by my power alone
i dont care where you've fallen, where you have been
i'll never forsake you
my love never ends, it never ends
mmm, mmm
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
