Back In Time

by: Tourmaline

Carry me away. Back in time to when I met You
Take all this guilt and shame
That buried me, and bury me in You
Chorus:
I want to be dead but still alive
I want to breathe hope instead of choking
I want to feel the fire deep inside
Burn through me and carry me away
How fake could I be? You see through me
You see right through me
Would You sing to me?
And take me back to when I met you
(Chorus)
I hear You calling me
I feel so far from home
You can see through my past
