Lyrics

Verse 1

Careless
I am reckless
I'm a wrong way travelin'
Slowly unravelin' shell of a man

Verse 2

Burned out
I'm so numb now

Of my cold cold heart

Pre Chorus

Lord this time
I'll make it right
Here at the altar
I lay my life
Your kingdom come
But my will was done
My heart is broken as I

Cry
Like so many times before
But my eyes

Are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord I try
But this time Jesus
How can I be sure
I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and

I'm trying so hard
To stop tryin' so hard
