Love, Don't Give Up

Psalm 138:8

New International Version (NIV)

⁸ The LORD will vindicate me; 

   your love, LORD, endures forever— 

   do not abandon the works of your hands.

Paul Colman Trio - 5's and 6'

Take the things you say you want from me

Say ‘what’s mine is yours is mine’

But it’s your way every time

Which of your two faces should I greet?

Tell me how to read your double mind?

And why can’t you be

Why can’t you be true?

Please don’t give up on me

Don’t hang up the phone on me

I’m in the dark all alone

I seem like the enemy

But something inside of me

Locked all the doors and won’t go, oh

I’m never sure which you I can believe

Life with you has worn me thin

Only God knows how hard

Only God knows how hard I’ve tried

Please don’t give up on me

Don’t hang up the phone 

While it seems like I hate you, it’s me I despise

Speak to me tenderly

Speak to me truthfully

Cut through the chains of my lies

I just wanna leave

Wanna be safe

And go home

I don’t have what it takes

Oh to love you

Love it always trusts and always hopes

Love it never lets me go

But I’m just a broken heart before you

Caught between the 5’s and 6’s in this rhyme

Love can you find me?

Love can you see me?

Love can you hear me now?

Love don’t give up on me

Don’t hang up the phone on me

Love be the light in the darkest night

Come and reside in me

Fill every part of me

Turn all the wrongs into right
