Needtobreathe Take The Blame
[Verse 1]
It's been nine years of silence and forty of pain
In the crosshairs of legacy
But if you saw my patience with the hands of time
You would be proud of me
'Cause all my religion's coming undone
But I still feel the power of God
He's my last companion when the guests all go home
And He don't care if I'm guilty or not
[Chorus]
Oh, it comes out of nowhere like summertime rain
From a bright cloudless sky, it feels so insane
When love is the question that you can't return
It's cold and it's frightening, and we all get hurt
All the sunlight is ending, the curtain comes down
All the angels of mercy have long left this town
You're running in circles and throwing out names
If you want the credit, guess we'll take the blame
[Verse 2]
There's a long distant memory of a smile on your face
I'm too tired now to hold, dear
All the wrong kind of anger is crawling your skin
And the danger's always near
When you're armed with forgiveness and a knife in your back
There's no solace that you can trust
Holding on to the promise of the here and not yet
Praying, God, deliver us
[Chorus]
Oh, it comes out of nowhere like summertime rain
From a bright cloudless sky, it feels so insane
When love is the question that you can't return
It's cold and it's frightening, and we all get hurt
All the sunlight is ending, the curtain comes down
All the angels of mercy have long left this town
You're running in circles and throwing out names
If you want the credit, guess we'll take the blame
