When The Whole World Falls Apart

all this love in my life that I can't feel
all the gifts so freely given that I've taken as a deal
I lie here shivering again, all tangled in my sheet
when all I'd have to do is reach down for the blanket at my feet

but I just lie here in the dark
dreaming of fires I might start
when the whole world falls apart
maybe then I'll look into my heart

now when you look at me with eyes so pure
I can't help wondering who it really is you're looking for
'cause when it comes right down to letting in your love
well, I am just not sure that's something I'm deserving of

so I just lie here in the dark
dreaming of fires I might start
when the whole world falls apart
maybe then I'll look into my heart

you don't have to go out searching for love
when love is the place that you come from…

all is given, and still I try to steal
it's in God's hands
still I try to grab the wheel
so now I pray for just one more thing
please give me eyes to see the love that's here inside of me

'cause I've been lyin' in the dark
dreaming of fires I might start
before the whole world falls apart
it's time I looked into my heart…
