[Verse 1]
As I sit behind this screen
Typing words the way they seem
They come spinning out my soul
Leave me bare and so exposed
And as I sort through all this mess
That’s always jumbled in my head
I am ashamed of who I am
A wayward son, a wayward man
[Hook]
And I’ll find
That my heart is a traitor
Inside
Can you come and vindicate it?
[Chorus]
I wanna, wanna love you
But I don’t understand
Why my heart is a traitor
I love what I can’t stand
I wanna, wanna follow all that you've ever said
But my Heart is a traitor
I wanna be free of this
Can you break me free of this?
[Verse 2]
As I wait for the sunrise
I see a new and shining sky
And a night that’s gone away
I see so clearly my mistakes
And as you reach deep in me
Show me what I wouldn't see
And I am humbled by your touch
How could I ever be enough?
[Hook]
When I’ll find
That my heart is a traitor
Inside
Won't you come and vindicate it?
[Chorus]
I wanna, wanna love you
But I don’t understand
Why my heart is a traitor
I love what I can’t stand
I wanna, wanna follow all that you've ever said
But my Heart is a traitor
I wanna be free of this
Can you break me free of this?
[Bridge]
As these words come pouring out
I finally know what they're about
About the God who conquers all
Who Helps me stand when I can’t crawl
And when I’m down on my face
Because I've chosen my own way
And even though I've done him wrong
He is there with open arms
[Hook]
When I’ll find
That my heart is a traitor
Inside
Then He comes and vindicates it
[Chorus]
I wanna, wanna love you
(Oh yeah, yeah, oh)
But I don’t understand
Why my heart is a traitor
(My heart is a traitor)
I love what I can’t stand
I wanna, wanna follow all that you've ever said
(I wanna follow, everything, everything)
But my Heart is a traitor
I wanna be free of this
(I wanna be free of this)
Can you break me free of this?
(Can you break, can you break me free of this?)
I wanna be free of this
(I wanna be free of this)
Can you break me free of this?
(Can you break, can you break me free of this?)
