What happened to the heart that I gave you 

What are you hiding in your chest these days 

You wanted somebody to save you 

I wanted someone who could not be saved 



Living in the shadow of Jesus 

It's so hard to bear your cross every day 

Was it easy for you, Christ, 

It's murdering me 

Now I'm down on my knees with a reason to pray 



You tell me experience has changed you 

From where I'm looking that's not hard to see 

You wanted out and how could I blame you 

When I'm not looking are you blaming me 



Living in the shadow of Jesus 

It's so hard to bear your cross every day 

Was it easy for you, Christ, 

It's murdering me 

Now I'm down on my knees with a reason to pray 



We've shifted into meaningless chatter 

This kind of talking could go on for days 

We've been through the heart of the matter 

Don't make no difference at the end of the day 



Living in the shadow of Jesus 

It's so hard to bear your cross every day 

Was it easy for you, Christ, 

It's murdering me 

Now I'm down on my knees with a reason to pray
