Beneath the Weight of Words

This is me in front of you
I come naked, bearing truth
I wish you to know it too
I wish you to know. . .
I would bleed myself for you
I would cut myself in two
I would cut my skin so smooth
Just so you would know. . .

Beneath the skin and bone
Beats a heart that you broke
When you took me for granted
I love you more than you know
Even after you've choked
The air from my lungs

Hold your breath now while I speak
As these words run past my teeth
See my eyes now as they weep
They weep for you, you know. . .
It's okay to disagree
But hear my heart now as it beats
See my blood now as it leaks
It leaks for you, you know. . .

Beneath the skin and bone
Beats a heart that you broke
When you took me for granted
I love you more than you know
Even after you've choked
The air from my lungs

And so I pray that you will find yourself
And what it is you're looking for
(Look to Him! Look to Him!)
Beneath the weight of your words
My heart bleeds

He bled and died
Not for your beliefs
Not so you could feel so self righteous
But so you could see He loves you
Just embrace this
Just embrace Him

He bled and died for you
And I would too
