(Verse)
It’s not the way I ever thought I’de feel
But it’s in this pain that I can feel your real
So I’ll stay and burn cause that when your close
I will be crushed because you’re what matters most
(Pre-chorus)
If comfort pulls me far away
Then let is all just fade to the grey
(Chorus)
So keep me in the fire if it keeps me near
Let these flames remind me that you are here
If braking is the price of seeing you
Then break me till my heart is through
It’s in this pain that I win and not lose
I don’t want healing if it means losing you.
So let me burn, let me torn apart
If it means Jesus you’re the one holding my heart.
(Instrumental piano and cellos here)
(Verse 2)
I used to run from every scar I’d feel
Now it’s in these scars that prove you can heal
But I didn’t see the way healing came
All because of the power in your name.
Now every tear falls like a whispered prayer
You meet me in the crushing, you’re always there
(Chorus)
So keep me in this fire if it keeps me near
Let these burning flames remind me that you are here
If breaking is the price of seeing you
Then break me till my heart is through
I don’t want healing if it means losing you
It’s in this pain that I win and not lose.
So let me burn, let me be torn apart
If it means Jesus, you’re holding my heart.
(Acoustic guitar solo here)
(Bridge)
I found you in these ashes
I heard you through my cries
You never walked away, you never said “Goodbye”
So don’t you dare take this pain from me
It’s here I will be
Burning for you
(Soft breakdown with cellos)
Closer in the fire
Closer when I break
Closer in this crushing
In every breath I take
(Powerful chorus build up)
So keep me in this fire if it means keeping me near
Let these burning flames remind me
That you are still here
I don’t want healing if it means losing you
Cause it’s in this pain that I win and not lose
Closer in the fire
Closer when I break
Closer in this crushing
With every breath I take
So let me burn, let me burn, let me burn
let me be torn apart
If it means Jesus, you’re the one holding my heart.
(Music cuts out)
It’s not the way I’d thought love would feel
But it’s in this pain,
Your love is real
(Piano and cello close out the song)
