I always pretended for your sake

So you wouldn't know how you made my heart break

I tried so hard to save you from yourself

But I never could cry out loud for help



All I did was help you tell a lie

You never even knew it when I said goodbye

I ran so far and I don't know why



You never even knew who I was

You saw about as far as a blind man does

I carried you with me everywhere I went

I carried everything till my back was bent



All I did was help you tell a lie

You never even knew it when I said goodbye

It keeps on raining and I don't know why



All our words are written down in chalk

Out in the rain on the sidewalk

If all our heartaches were in a stack

They'd go all the way up to heaven and back



We don't know all the trouble we're in

We don't know how to get home again

Jesus come and save us from our sin
