The Lyrics
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don’t know
My weakness I feel, I must finally show
You’ve been guardin’ your heart like a fortress
So wary of love and all it could cost
But oh, to be loved, to be loved by you
To be loved, to be loved by you
How wide how deep how sweet is your love?
That you should give your only Son to die for me?
And now my they stumble on things I don’t know
My weakness they feel, they must finally show
You’ve been guardin’ their hearts like fortresses
So wary of love and all it could cost
But oh, to be loved by you, to be loved by you
