Traitor

As I sit behind this screen

Typing words the way they seem

They come spinning out my soul

Leave me barren so exposed

And as I sort through all this mess

That's always jumbled in my head

I am ashamed of who I am

A wayward son a wayward man

And I'll find

That my heart is a traitor

Inside

Can you come and vindicate it

I wanna wanna love you

But I don't understand

Why my heart is a traitor

I love what I can't stand

I wanna wanna follow all that you've ever said

But my heart is a traitor

I wanna be free of this

Can you break me free of this

As I wait for the sunrise

I see a new and shining sky

And a night that's gone away

I see so clearly my mistakes

And as you reach deep in me

Show me what I wouldn't see

And I am humbled by your touch

How could I ever be enough

When I'll find

That my heart is a traitor

Inside

Won't you come and vindicate it

I wanna wanna love you

But I don't understand

Why my heart is a traitor

I love what I can't stand

I wanna wanna follow all that you've ever said

But my heart is a traitor

I wanna be free of this

Can you break me free of this

As these words come pouring out

I finally know what they're about

About the god who conquers all

Who helps me stand when I can't crawl

And when I'm down on my face

Because I've chosen my own way

And even though I've done him wrong

He is there with open arms

When I'll find

That my heart is a traitor

Inside

Then he comes and vindicates it

I wanna wanna love you

But I don't understand

Why my heart is a traitor

My heart is a traitor

I love what I can't stand

I wanna wanna follow all that you've ever said

But my heart is a traitor

I wanna be free of this

I wanna be free of this

Can you break me free of this

Can you break me free of this

I wanna be free of this

I wanna be free of this

Can you break me free of this

Can you break me free of this
