TENDER

Every grain of truth
Has long since blown to dust
Your heart of gold lies bleeding
Broken by his trust
Every grain of truth
Has long since blown to sand
Your heart of gold lies broken
Broken by his hand

Let me cross this river alone
The law of God no longer abides
Your tender heart shall hurt again
What can I say, what can I say?

Oh surrender all
The flame that burnt has died
How could this be right
When we have told our lies?

Oh surrender all
This pain is hard to bear

I'll no longer live
When you no longer care

My deceit sees your conceit
You see my eyes betray his lies
The rain will rain my life's the same
What can I say, what can I say?

Oh surrender all
There is no pleasure in pain
The only sense I feel
Is guilt from all the blame

Strength it had to fail
Our will it had to give
And having denied ourselves
We could no longer live

Let me cross this river alone
The law of God no longer abides
Your tender heart shall hurt again
What can I say, what can I say?
