Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right
I don't want empty words tonight
I want to be real, more than I feel
I can see my life is molding into yours
I want to receive all these cries
That soften everything I fight
This battle inside only to feel
This constant hope for me
I want to stand by, I want to live by
I want to be the words that you spoke
I want to stand by, I want to live by
I want to be the words that you've spoken to me
I feel it so strong, my heart and my mind
Only to reconnect this truth divine
To show my faith everyday
Only to walk this life that you've displayed
I want to stand by, I want to live by
I want to be the words that you spoke
I want to stand by, I want to live by
I want to be the words that you've spoken to me, spoken to me
I've chosen now to take each step
And follow in life or death
And I'm living now to only give my all
I want to stand by, I want to live by
I want to be the words that you spoke
I want to stand by, I want to live by
I want to be the words that you spoke
I want to stand by, I want to live by
I want to be the words that you spoke
I want to stand by, I want to live by
I want to be the words that you've spoken to me
(I want to live by, I want to be)
The words that you've spoken to me
(I want to live by, I want to be)
