So many good things I've said and done,
but to my undying shame
So many promises given,
broken all the same I'm just an ordinary guy who knows of suffering
and joy I wanna be brave and strong,
but deep inside
I'm just a boy who cannot understand why you broke his heart
You laid before me all my fears
You took my world
and you tore it all apart
Now I'm all alone in the valley of tears
Now I'm all alone in the valley of tears
Each night I ask my God
to help me find my way
I know his
words are wisdom, but I don't listen anyway
My heart is blind
and even in his light I cannot see
I wanted it all and now,
now the devil's leading me
Down,
down the paths,
the paths of no return I have abandoned all my care
Now I would give everything
for just one kind word from you
From all alone in the valley of tears
The sun sets low,
it's time for me to go And I finally realize
We always hurt the ones we love But it's hurt me more here inside
To all those people I have tortured with my selfish ways
I can only say I'm sorry and hope there's time for them to say
A
foolish sinner who
has failed to
understand How he has wasted all these years
Now when I need someone
to lend a helping hand
