There are a thousand songs of the same refrain
None of them stand with me in the darkest night
Singing of the times I gave myself away
My love cast off to an idol's fame
So, I've been running myself into the ground
To put You together, to figure You out
But Your heart is like poetry, more like a song to sing
And I've been out-of-key and off-beat all along
♪
There are a thousand reasons You should give up
Namely, to grow weary of how often I run
From this dance of You showing me how to love
By Your gentleness, all my defense is undone
There are a thousand angels who know my name
For all the times You've called them to the lines for me
Proving You are stronger than relentless shame
Your words dripping grace, I know I'm finally safe
So, I've been running myself into the ground
To put You together, to figure You out
But Your heart is like poetry, more like a song to sing
And I've been out-of-key and off-beat all along
So, I've been running myself into the ground
To put You together, to figure You out
But Your heart is like poetry, more like a song to sing
And I've been out-of-key and off-beat all along
♪
My eyes, they are beginning to find
Your words have no laces or traces of lies
And every action in Your pursuit of me
Is forged in the furnace of a holy jealousy
There are a thousand other loves who've known my touch
I know better than all the debt of their cost
I left them all when You raised my dirty eyes from the dust
There have been a thousand, but You are more than all
