Traitor

As I sit behind this screen
Typing words the way they seem
They come spinning out my soul
Leave me barren, so exposed
And as I sort through all this mess
That's always jumbled in my head
I am ashamed of who I am
A wayward son, a wayward man

And I'll find
That my heart is a traitor
Inside
Can you come and vindicate it?

I wanna, wanna love you
But I don't understand
Why my heart is a traitor
I love what I can't stand
I wanna, wanna follow all that you've ever said
But my heart is a traitor
I wanna be free of this
Can you break me free of this?

As I wait for the sunrise
I see a new and shining sky
And a night that's gone away
I see so clearly my mistakes
And as you reach deep in me
Show me what I wouldn't see
And I am humbled by your touch
How could I ever be enough?

When I'll find
That my heart is a traitor
Inside
Won't you come and vindicate it?

I wanna, wanna love you
But I don't understand
Why my heart is a traitor
I love what I can't stand
I wanna, wanna follow all that you've ever said
But my heart is a traitor
I wanna be free of this
Can you break me free of this?

As these words come pouring out
I finally know what they're about
About the God who conquers all
Who helps me stand when I can't crawl
And when I'm down on my face
Because I've chosen my own way
And even though I've done him wrong
He is there with open arms

When I'll find
That my heart is a traitor
Inside
Then he comes and vindicates it

I wanna, wanna love you
(Oh yeah, yeah, oh)
But I don't understand
Why my heart is a traitor
(My heart is a traitor)
I love what I can't stand
I wanna, wanna follow all that you've ever said
(I wanna follow, everything, everything)

But my heart is a traitor
I wanna be free of this
(I wanna be free of this)
Can you break me free of this?
(Can you break, can you break me free of this?)
I wanna be free of this
(I wanna be free of this)
Can you break me free of this?
(Can you break, can you break me free of this?)
