Lyrics
I tried again to give it all, to give my all
But I got lost in the shine of gold; I tried to hold that glory
I chased the lights, took in praise for pride; I gave my eyes all they wanted
I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore of my heart
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
But I lied and ran and did it all, did it all wrong
You showed me life and death, the wine and bread, and you said I love you
Still I lied with them, more of me died again and I tried to spin it, like I didn’t know the truth
I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
Don’t ever let me go back; don’t ever let me go back; don’t ever let me go back; don’t let me ever go
‘Cause it’s you I want, you, to take me, truth
Use the pure and ruined to unite this divided heart and make it soon
Hold me close and form a new heart in me
Where you are everything and I can hear you singing, singing to me now
I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore
I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore of my heart
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
But I got lost in the shine of gold; I tried to hold that glory
I chased the lights, took in praise for pride; I gave my eyes all they wanted
I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore of my heart
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
But I lied and ran and did it all, did it all wrong
You showed me life and death, the wine and bread, and you said I love you
Still I lied with them, more of me died again and I tried to spin it, like I didn’t know the truth
I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
Don’t ever let me go back; don’t ever let me go back; don’t ever let me go back; don’t let me ever go
‘Cause it’s you I want, you, to take me, truth
Use the pure and ruined to unite this divided heart and make it soon
Hold me close and form a new heart in me
Where you are everything and I can hear you singing, singing to me now
I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore
I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore of my heart
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
