Lyrics
TEAR IN THE CURTAIN
There's a tear in the curtain
There's a rip in the seam
There's a lie that was told to me
That I eagerly believed
If I act like I'm not burning
If I beg on silent knees
Will You grant me my heart's yearning
Will You, will You let me live my
Will I get to live my dreams?
`Cause I'm giving it up again
I'm always giving it up again
Don't You know I came to save You
Don't You know who You forsake?
Is there no one who is able
To see this terrible mistake?
If I act too unforgiving
If my anger seems too extreme
Will You strike me dead for living
Or will You, will You let me live my,
Will I get to live my dreams? Yeah
`Cause I'm giving it up again
I'm always giving it up again
Giving it up again
I'm always giving it up, giving it up, yeah
Giving it up again, na na na na...Giving it up again
If I act too undeserving
If I call You in silent screams
Will You grant me my life's yearnings
Oh will You, will You let me live my
Will I get to live my dreams? Yeah
There's a tear in the curtain
