Lyrics

I convinced myself
Love was the enemy
And never again
Would I let it get the best of me
I believed I’d be
Strong enough to stand my ground
So sure my guard
Wouldn’t let me down
Oh I tried and I tried to push you away
But little by little day by day

You came I saw I SURRENDERED
You shot down all my defenses
I found a place my heart feels safe enough to stay forever
You came I saw I SURRENDERED

I guess I thought
That needing you made me weak
It’s hard to admit
How foolishly I used to think
‘Cause here in your arms
I realize I was wrong
And facin’ up to this truth
Has only made me strong
Now I give you my heart I give you it all
‘Cause you gave me every reason to fall


CHORUS

I was all about control
I just didn’t know
This is all so new to me
But it’s gettin’ through to me
Love’s about lettin’ go

CHORUS
