tears run down my face just like the last
no different from yesterday
sick from the mirror
do these prayers feel sincere
the dirt never washes clear
you were good, so good
i grew to love your lies
until i put you in the past
love was lust until he revealed
the man behind the mask
will the scars go away
in this world i have no place
forgive me jesus this time i cry
i rip my heart out to give to you
alone it never did me any good
hold me close, wash my mind
destroy the me that lives inside

    General Comment:This song. It's about sinning. and can't stop sinning. He asks for forgiveness. Then at the end he says "I'm done with it, Lord, destroy the old me that once sinned, because I want to be renewed" Amazing.

    General Comment:punkkid6312 has it right. Sin offends God and essentially breaks his heart. (song title)
    First he is sad b/c he can't seem to break free from the sin (No different than yesterday).
    Then he is disgusted with what he has done (sick from the mirror).
    He prays/repents (do these prayers feel sincere?).
    He finally gets over his sin/satan (grew to love YOUR LIES until I put YOU in the past...Until you revealed the MAN behing the mask.) Satan decieves.
    He still feels pain from his past and wonders how he will go on in this world (will the scars go away
    in this world i have no place)
    Surrenders completely to Jesus and asks Jesus to give him strength and cleanse him b/c he can't on his own. (alone it never did me any good
    hold me close, wash my mind)
    New life in Christ, old self dies...(Destroy the me that lives inside).

    General Comment:this song is extremely inspiring.
    it's about a guy who is committed to having sex and being sinful, but after someone breaks his heart, he finally realizes it belongs to God. The song is so powerful.

    General Comment:i agree with ^this guy^
    all previous "loves" he had known were based on lust, but the love he had for jesus was pure. nothing can top that love.

    General Comment:this song isnt about anythign about sex at all.

    he found jesus. thats the song. the lust part just means that love was just lust, and when he found jesus it turned to true love. it was just a metahpor
