Better Things

Growing pains, becoming who I was made to be
I try to walk away
But all my mistakes keep chasing me
I fall down when I'm alone and temptation is on display
All these stains, they cover me (they cover me)
Memories that won't go away

But you say you'll carry my weight
Through the storm, cover my mistakes
You say to never be afraid
And hold onto the promises you made

I ran, but you always chased me (chased me)
I see you in my dreams, you are the air I breathe
And all the walls that I built are breaking (breaking)
So now I see that you're leading me onward to better things (onward to better things)

I've seen the evidence
I've watched my heart change every day
Believe me when I say
This will never ever be easy
But I have seen and I believe
You hold my heart while it's breaking

I ran, but you always chased me (chased me)
I see you in my dreams, you are the air I breathe
And all the walls that I built are breaking (breaking)
So now I see that you're leading me onward to better things
You never failed me
I fell away
But you never left me, you never left me

Temptation come my way
I am stronger now than I have ever been
Temptation come my way (come my way)
I am stronger now than I have ever been
Temptation come my way (my way)
I am stronger now and I am not afraid

I am stronger now and I am not afraid
You lead me to better things
Temptation come my way
'Cause I am more than my mistakes

I ran, but you always chased me
I see you in my dreams, you are the air I breathe
And all the walls that I built are breaking (breaking)
So now I see that you're leading me onward to better things
You never failed me
I fell away
But you never left me, you never left me
