Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I tried to be the strong one
I tried to never bend
Kept telling everybody
I'd be alright again
But behind every closed door
I was falling apart
Trying to hold together
The pieces of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I finally whispered
"God, I can't do this anymore"
And before I hit the bottom
I felt You on the floor
[Chorus]
When I couldn't stand
You carried me
When I couldn't pray
You heard my tears speak
When my hands let go
Yours held tighter
When I lost my strength
You became my fighter
I thought I had to be strong
To make it through
But when I couldn't stand
I fell into You
[Verse 2]
I used to think that faith meant
Never being afraid
But sometimes faith is crying
And trusting You to stay
Sometimes it's one more heartbeat
One more whispered prayer
One more night of knowing
Even here, You're there
[Chorus]
When I couldn't stand
You carried me
When I couldn't pray
You heard my tears speak
When my hands let go
Yours held tighter
When I lost my strength
You became my fighter
I thought I had to be strong
To make it through
But when I couldn't stand
I fell into You
[Bridge]
You didn't ask me to pretend
You didn't tell me not to cry
You just stayed beside me
Through the longest night
And when I had no strength left
No brave words left to say
You became the strength I needed
And carried me away
[Final Chorus]
When I couldn't stand
YOU CARRIED ME
When I couldn't see
YOU STILL LED ME
When I couldn't hope
YOU BELIEVED FOR ME
When I had nothing left
YOU WERE EVERYTHING
I thought I had to be strong
To make it through
But all I ever needed
Was You
[Outro]
You carried me...
You carried me.
