231118: I Surrender

from Leap Songs, Part 1 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Night is long sky is dark
There's a big hole in my heart
When the pain began I can't remember
But today I surrender

Head is beat soul is bruised
This body's black and blue
I've lost the lines unwinding pain from pleasure
So tonight I surrender

I surrender right here and now
I surrender and lay my burden down (weapons down)
No happy ending sick and tired of pretending
Torn and tender (give me shelter) (voice may tremble but)
I surrender

Can't make right what went wrong
There's nowhere I belong
But I believe it won't be like this forever
On my knees I surrender

You hurt me I hurt you
It's tragic and it's true
We're better off apart than still together
I've had enough and I surrender
