Still Beating Heart
Words by K. Adkins

And I knew from the start, start
I could no longer take it
This still beating heart, heart
You had the power to drain it

Lord, you gave what I got, got
Stolen from secret locations
Down deep in the dark, dark
Brought to the light of salvation

You say to give and not count cost
Is my life worth more when it's lost
Somedays it's just too hard to try
I want you with me when I die

Take away this cup, cup
The night is cold and I'm shaking
Is it ever enough, 'nough
All that I've given you've taken

Don't lead me down, down
A road that's lost and foresaken
Can't hear the sound, sound
The beating heart is still breaking

You say to give and not count cost
Is my life worth more when it's lost
Somedays it's just too hard to try
I want you with me when I die

You say there is no bottom
How can we reach the top
You have no problem breaking
This still beating heart

And I knew from the start, start
I could no longer take it
My still beating heart, heart
You had the power to break it

Lord, you gave what I got, got
Stolen from secret locations
Down deep in the dark, dark
Brought to the light of salvation

You say to give and not count cost
Is my life worth more when it’s lost?
Some days it’s just to hard to try
I want you with me when I die

You say there is no bottom
How can we reach the top
You have no problem breaking
This still beating heart

You say there is no bottom
How can we reach the top
You have no problem breaking
This still beating heart

No longer lost, lost
But still somehow forsaken
Paid all of the cost, cost
This beating heart is still breaking

You say to give and not count cost
Is my life worth more when it’s lost?
Some days it’s just to hard to try
I want you with me when I die

Come on and bleed with me
My sweet little honey bee
Pull me tight to your chest
Let me feel your warming breath
Your body next to mine
Moving in rhythmic time
I wanna feel this way
Each and every single day
