Grace
Kyf Brewer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot breathe you in
Your air is too thick for me
And it makes my lungs sting
Please don't go
I cannot walk beside
Think I'll stay behind a mile
'Cause I don't need you crampin' my style
How do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissing my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Please don't go
Without you I am weak
Find myself drinking and sinking
Seeking
Please don't go
Sometimes it gets so cold that I'd rather
Grab for a blanket instead of
Walkin' into your comfort zone
How do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissing my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
I know I've wronged you
I know I've hurt you so many times
I hope I haven't scarred you
How do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissing my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
How do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissing my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
If you keep kissing my face
One day I'll no longer do you wrong
