Abandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing comes out right anyway
You know my tendency to complicate
So I'll shoot straight, I'll keep it simple, yeah
Help, help
I need You, oh, oh, I need You
Please help, give me Your hand
I need Your help
Well, I lay in ruin like a fallen empire
Taken out by my own designs
You saw my approaching of the end would come
And now, I'm going down in flames with one last word
Oh, help, help
I need You, oh, oh, I need You
Please help, give me Your hand
