Divided By Friday - To All A Good Night Lyrics

Another year I’ll hide behind the cover
Of Christmas trees
And caroling
But honestly,
What do those mean
If we’re not thankful first
For our Savior’s selfless birth?

Oh, God,
You give me everything
But I just end up destroying
Every chance you give
This life I live
Is taking its toll
Please take control
I fall
I fail
My faith is frail
But when compared to you,
Perfection pales,
So please,
Do what you have to do
To make me more like you

I’ll tell a lie so I feel safer
If I wrap it up in pretty paper
Maybe they won’t see
All the things that burden me
Let every flake of snow
Simply show
The more I live the more I grow
Insufficient on my own
Every time I speak
My covers blown
So let it fall

Let the Yule Tide make the waves come in
And crash against my skin
So I can drown
And watch the world around me cloud
And as I sink
I’ll say the things I think
Will make you satisfied
But, before I reach the bottom
You bring me back to life

You take me back when I fail you
Even though you don’t have to
You let me know that everything will be all right
I’ve tried a thousand times
And failed once less
But if all I take is having you
At least I know you’ll see me through

When I remember
Those nights in late December
All the memories good and bad
Let the Yule Tide make the waves come in
And crash against my skin
So I can drown
And watch the world around me cloud

Despite my ill intentions, you still answer when I call
I don’t have much to offer, but I’ll offer you my all.
