Lyrics

On My Knees (Rōnin Def Mix)

[Chorus]

Whoa, on my knees

Whoa, I can't breathe

All that I ever prayed

That love would be where I stayed

Whoa, I can see

All that I believe

I know that I play the game

But I'll never be ashamed

[Verse 1]

I'm not trying to pass the blame

I'm just trying to protect my name

But you know I would die for you

What you dreamin', it can't be true

I can see how you tarnish me

How you gave me the third degree

I don't need to apologize

I could lie to you every night

When you stole from me everything

You just gave mе a song to sing

You can leave me insidе to die

What you mean is I never cry

There are things we can never see

I need God, would you pray for me?

We've been lost in the memory

All the darkness was meant to be

[Chorus]

Whoa, on my knees

Whoa, I can't breathe

All that I ever prayed

Love would be where I stayed

Whoa, I can see

All that I believe

I know that I play the game

But I'll never be ashamed

[Post-Chorus]

Whoa, on my knees

Oh, and I can't be

I can hear angels sing

I'm tired of the place I'm in

Whoa, holy ground

Give me the sweetest sound

I know where I'd rather be

The silence is heavenly

[Verse 2]

If I paint you a masterpiece

Would my pain and my hurt decrease?

If I'm able to make you cry

Would you love me and want me more?

I just want you to understand

That I'm only a broken man

And my heart it can only show

All the things we can never know

There's no need to apologize

We'll get back to the other side

I been walkin' on solid ground

Wait 'til you see what I have found

I've prayed for the stars above

I'm no longer the man you loved

I've become who I'm meant to be

When I needed you next to me

[Chorus]

Whoa, on my knees

Whoa, I can't breathe

All that I ever prayed

Whoa, I believe, I believe, whoa, whoa

[Bridge]

I believe, oh

I believe, yeah

Oh, I believe

That I'ma walk away

Oh, I believe

I'm walkin' now

Oh, I believe

Oh, oh, I believe

Oh, now, oh, I can see, yeah

Oh, I believe

[Chorus]

Whoa, on my knees

Whoa, I can't breathe

All that I ever prayed

That love would be where I stayed

Whoa, I can see

All that I believe

I can hear angels sing

Tired of the place I'm in
