What looks like failure is success

and what looks like poverty is riches

when what is true looks more like a knife

it looks like you're killing me

but you're saving my life


chorus

but i give myself to what looks like love

and i sell myself for what feels like love

and i pay to get what is not love

and all just because i see things upside down


what looks like weakness can do anything

and what looks like foolishness is understanding

when what is powerful has not come to fight

it looks like you're going to war

but you lay down your life


chorus


what looks like torture is a time to rejoice

what sounds like thunder is a comforting voice

when what is beautiful looks broken and crushed

and i say i don't know you

but you say it's finished

when what is beautiful looks broken and crushed

and i say i don't know you

but you say it's finished
