Storm Clouds Cleared

Walking out of the church after having been down on my knees
I have made my decision, I know it won’t be easy.
Lies become sins and sins can be confessed.
That’s when it is left to Him.
I’m letting go of this burden, wiping the tears from my eyes.
‘Cause you know, everybody needs someone by their side.

I’m erasing from my memory the proof of what you hold and have
Conversations and pictures, I will leave in the past.
No more looking over your shoulder, you can have and still hold her.
That’s when it is left to Him.
I’m letting go of this burden, wiping the tears from my eyes.
Cause I know, everybody needs someone by their side.

So much for morals and what’s right and what’s wrong.
This is what it’s like not to share this broken song.
Being a silent observer is not seen as a fail,
It’s your story to tell that’s between you and him.
I won’t think about how long or even its earliest origin.
I’m keeping this train on its tracks, I won’t let it derail.

And I almost went the other way.
Put these feelings in a box and tied it up tight.
Like your endless visits you still make many a night.
Carry on what you have, cover up what we see.
It is what it is, and will continue to be.
And now the burden is gone.
