Locked Heart Lament

Lord, Lord, help me

I need You now (ooh)

I have been broken more than I can count

Love came close, then let me down

People said forever, then they turned away

So I fold up my heart at the end of the day

Sleeve on fire, key in my hand

I hide it where nobody can

I lie in bed with the sad songs on Let the tears

keep time till the hurt is gone

Singing to the ceiling with my hands held out Lord,

if You hear me,

hear me right now

Lord, Lord, help me,

I need You now

Heart on my sleeve but I lock it down

Sad songs low while I lay my body down

Lord, Lord, help me,

I need You now

I keep the key where the pain can't reach

But my soul still reaches out of me

I tried to laugh with a stone in my chest

Told everybody I was getting some rest

But every midnight knows the truth by name

I sing through the ache and I call through the rain

God, You know what I never say

Hold me close when I drift away

If I put the key away

Will You still find me here

If I cannot sing it straight

Will You understand my tears

Lord, Lord

Stay with me now

Lord, Lord, help me,

I need You now

Heart on my sleeve but I lock it down

Sad songs low while I lay my body down

Lord, Lord, help me,

I need You now

Take this hurt that I carry around

Lift me up when the night pulls down

Lord, Lord, help me I need You now (ooh)
