[Verse 1]
I can't walk without watchin' where I'm goin'
I can't speak without knowin' what to say
I can't love and have any hesitation
'Cause I know that you don't work that way
[Verse 2]
I can't reach without something to offer
I can't come now, I am so ashamed
I can't hold out from you any longer
'Cause I know that you don't work that way
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna fight you anymore
Not gonna try to lock the door
You took your life and gave me yours
There's no reason why
I shouldn't trust you with mine
[Verse 3]
It's never easy changing my direction
It's so unnatural to loosen up my grip
Are you growing weary of all my good intentions?
'Cause I know that you don't work that way
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna fight you anymore
Not gonna try to lock the door
You took your life and gave me yours
There's no reason why
I shouldn't trust you with mine
[Bridge]
Some days
This weight upon my shoulder
Is my shame
I know I should know better
Cause you say that I must now surrender
There's no other way
[Chorus]
I'm not gonna fight you anymore
(I'm not gonna fight you anymore)
Not gonna try to lock the door
(I needed life, you gave me yours)
You took your life and gave me yours
There's no good reason why
I shouldn't trust you
I'm not gonna fight you anymore
Not gonna try to lock the door
You took your life and gave me yours
There's no reason why
No good reason why
I shouldn't trust you with mine
