Intro

Verse1

Seventeen and self-assured in secret so to blame

Hold it in, it's not a sin, it's just a shame

You're not alone, this man he loves you

In spite of everything you are

But not by my grace

Verse2

Of the shadows cast in corridors of human hearts

Faith is fact, my favourite fiction by far

And every step I've ever taken

In its grip, the core's the same

I've fallen on my face

Chorus

I, I'm no more than what you see

Never let me halfway on a cross or on my knees

Time took all the faith I need

Born to stand on trial, abandoned by the hand that feeds

Verse3

Close your eyes and hold on, this will all be over soon

Just another pound of flesh before you go

And after all the dirt and pain and hate and sin has washed away

What's left of me to love?

Chorus

I, I'm no more than what you see

Never let me halfway on a cross or on my knees

Time took all the faith I need

Born to stand on trial, abandoned by the hand that feeds

Bridge

If you love me at all

Just let me go and be no more

Verse4

Jesus, though I don't believe in this whole give-and-take

Won't you just deliver me once more for old times' sake?

Chorus

I, I'm no more than what you see

Never let me halfway on a cross or on my knees

Time took all the faith I need

Born to stand on trial, abandoned by the hand that feeds

I, I'm no more than what you see

Never let me halfway on a cross or on my knees

Time took all the faith I need

Born to stand on trial, abandoned, abandoned all faith

Outro

My faith, my fears, all I believe

My home, my heart, all I have free

My smile, my tears, all I have free

Will die with you and this to see.
