I Tried You Lied

Waves crash over me
They're formed from tears I've cried
And pain drags this heart
To it's watery grave
My forgiveness a
Babe in arms you murdered
Love, a game to you
Of torture and abuse

I tried you lied I cried
This bridge has now been burnt
There's no rebuilding it
Not after what I've learnt

I can't swallow past
The tears that clog my heart
I'm swimming against
The current and drowning
I reach out to grasp
A life line that's not there
I call to my God
And beg my Lord for wings

I tried you lied I died
The bridge mere memory
Of those chains of bondage
I find that I'm now free
