I keep saying that I love you
So why did I act
Like you were not enough
Not enough
I would tell you that I need you
Then take control and not give it up
Give it up
My pride pushed you and my heart could only break
But you were there
Always there
On my knees I'm finally saying
I'm so done and I'm moving on with the rest of my life
With the rest of my life
All things new I am trusting you with the rest of my life
With the rest of my life
I could never be perfect
But Lord your grace
Is always enough
Always enough
It doesn't matter what the burden
Because your strength
Will lift me up
You lift me up
My past cannot compare to
The future I have with you
I am free
And I can see
There are no more chains to hold me
I'm so done and I'm moving on with the rest of my life
With the rest of my life
All things new I am trusting you with the rest of my life
With the rest of my life
And I give you all of me
Lord I give you everything
I know you are with me
And even if I fall
You will hold me through it all
You complete me
I'm so done and I'm moving on with the rest of my life
With the rest of my life
All things new I am trusting you with the rest of my life
With the rest of my life
I'm moving on
With the rest of my life
The rest of my life
I told the only goodbye
Told the only goodbye
Goodbye
