The River Remnants

I hope I don’t fall short I fall oh so tall and I’m in appall As I long for your comfort Through it all, through it all… Pieces of me has fallen Into the deep end again Pieces of me has fallen Into the deep end again Don’t fence me in With your love again Press your heart against my own If you could, just let me know If I’m good enough for you to let me show That I’m a good person That I’m a good person For you, for you, for you… You see my river remnants so true? You’ve eaten from the forbidden fruit now I’m stuck in the vines of vanity Of lies and all the demise from your soullessness somehow I’m in a scenario, so uncanny Pieces of me has fallen Into the deep end again Pieces of me has fallen Into the deep end again Don’t fence me in With your love again Press your heart against my own If you could, just let me know If I’m good enough for you to let me show That I’m a good person That I’m a good person For you, for you, for you… You see my river remnants so true? Pieces of me has fallen Into the deep end again Pieces of me has fallen Into the deep end again Don’t fence me in With your love again Press your heart against my own If you could, just let me know If I’m good enough for you to let me show That I’m a good person That I’m a good person For you, for you, for you… You see my river remnants so true? For you…for you…for you… I’d die for you, if only you knew The river remnants of my heart Has shattered apart from the start The waterfalls of my eyes Released the inner lies That held me captive, captive Now, I can truly live…live…live… If I don’t fall short and lose it all…
