Lyrics
i could not change, i could not be
what you needed me to be
so i lay down my arms
and i will fight no more
give my wounds some time to heal
so i cannot feel
let me be numb so i can smile
and fake it for a while
just give me faith and give me love
let it fall from up above
give me something i don't know
that i do not recognize
a brand new face, a brand new soul
let me rise up from the old
become someone you don't know
that you will not recognize
and if i knew your memory
looking back what would i see
were you different on your own
how could i know
and is it easier to heal
do you break now just to feel
a little something after all
and now something is gone
just give me faith and give me love
let it fall from up above
give me something i don't know
that i do not recognize
a brand new face, a brand new soul
let me rise up from the old
become someone you don't know
that you will not recognize
follow in your will that'll get there for you
following behind and i won't ignore you
i hear the voices in my head
but i do not listen to them
just give me faith and give me love
let it fall from up above
give me something i don't know
a brand new face, a brand new soul
let me rise up from the old
become someone you don't know
just give me wind upon my back
let me say that i won't come back
take me somewhere i don't know
that i do not recognize
a brand new place to call my own
let me rise up from the old
become someone you don't know
that you will not recognize
that you will not recognize
that you will not recognize
