Circle encircles the earth
Chance and joyess break his heart
His innocent arm moves to save me and I am spared
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off
His heart ripped out to show me he loved me
But I wouldn't believe him
He did all that he could
I still would not believe him
I left his arms empty and tied
Out stretched for me until he died
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died
No man shows greater love
Than when a man lays down his life
For his beloved [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/flyleaf/circle.html ]
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died
Here I'm alive
And I don't have the right
And he gave me the right
Costing him his life
New mercy's in the morning
I believe
What if I believe you now
Could it ever change this now
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back tonight
I believe
What if I believe you now
Could it ever change this now
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back to life
Come back to my life
I believe
What if I believe you now
Forgive me, believe me
Please come back to life
The booklet that comes with the cd said it was about a soldier's wife that thought he was cheating on her and she wouldn't believe him when he said he wasn't until he sacrificed himself in order to save her life. It's a really sad story.
No man shows greater love
than when a man lays down his life
for his beloved
>this seems to be taken from john 15:13 "greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. " the members of flyleaf are christian as individuals, as we all know. Their faith most probably influences their lyrics.
