Here I stand
Empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
To stop the pain from the beatings
And, there you stood
Holding me
Waiting for me to notice you
But who are you
You are the truth
I'm screaming these lies
You are the truth
Saving my life [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/flyleaf/red_sam_acoustic.html ]
The warmth of your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit
You speak the truth and I hear it
The words are I love you
And I have to believe in you
But who are you
You are the truth
I'm screaming these lies
You are the truth
Saving my life
My hands are open
And you are filling them
Hands in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air
I cut myself to, so i can really relate to this song. I love lacey's story, because it's so poignant and beautiful and real, but my story is kind of flipped. Because i wasn't the one who put myself down in the hole. Actually, my father kind of pushed me down here, but i confuse my father with god a lot and i know that's a problem, but i can't help it. Anyways, my story is that instead of me getting into my hole by myself and god saving me, god's the one that out me there and i'm saving myself.
And personally, i don't think it matters if god saves me or if i save me. I think the important thing is being saved. Just, never, ever, commit suicide. I've been down that low, trying to commit suicide, and i assure you, it is not a good place.
So i don't think it matters, just as long as you get saved.
This is a beuitiful im not religous though but that doesnt mean i dont love the song , i get depressed a lot feel like i can not take it anymore but this song makes me happy the acoustic is my favorite , flyleaf rocks it warms my heart god bless you all flyleaf!!!
This is such a beautiful song. I'm kinda just like lacey, but i havent found my faith... Not yet. I guess maybe it's because now i don't want to kill myself.. But this song touched me. I love it
Omg this song is so powerful and meaningful i cant believe she wanted to kill herself but she found jesus. Lacey you're my role model im glad your sorrows are left behind im glad you didnt kill youself because if you did and you never made this band then what would the world be like without you and the rest of your band? I love you flyleaf!!!
