How many times have I said to myself
This means nothing to me
What doesn't kill only makes me stronger
So comforting to believe

But in these strange days I find
That I'm a ghost in my own life
Can you forgive these blood-stained hands
And trust the scars have healed out of sight

Where was I to know

You were running out of reasons
Afraid to just let go
We were crashing into pieces
But where was I, where was I to know

And I'm so tired of feeling sick and tired
Shattered to my very soul
A dying light in a coal black sky
I'm too young to feel so old

With hungry voices we stand in a circle
Chalked upon the floor
We're waiting for grace is it all in vain
Or do we count the ways once more

You were running out of reasons
Afraid to just let go
We were crashing into pieces
But where was I to know

I'm humbled by your patience
In time the spirit grows
Will bring me to your garden
But where was I, where was I to know
