Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was the man who locked the door
I was the one who chose the floor
Over the bed You made for me
I chose the dark over being free

I was the man who ran from still
Who filled the silence with his will
Who fought the current fought the tide
Who built a life with fear inside

[Verse 2]
But something shifted in the night
A voice that didn't need to fight
It didn't argue didn't prove
It simply said I'm here and I'm not going to move

You didn't shout above my noise
You didn't compete with all my ploys
You waited like the morning waits
Patient at the edge of all my gated gates

[Chorus]
Because of You I am not who I was
Because of You the dark has lost its cause
Because of You the chains I wore like skin
Are lying on the ground I'm standing in
Because of You

[Verse 3]
I didn't earn the ground I stand on
I didn't build the bridge I crossed
Every step I thought was mine alone
Was paved by everything You lost

The price was never mine to pay
The debt was settled long before my day
And still I tried to earn my way
As if my hands could hold what grace could say

[Bridge]
I don't know how to earn what You have given
I don't know how to stand in what I don't deserve
I spent my life performing for a verdict
That You already signed before I spoke a word

And I am tired
Of building walls You keep walking through
I am tired
Of running from the only thing that's true

[Final Chorus]
Because of You I am not who I was
Because of You the dark has lost its cause
Because of You the hiding and the fire
The war the thorns the weight the mire
Were never wasted never lost
Because of You I know the cost
Was never mine
Was never mine
Because of You
