Relient K - When I Go Down Lyrics

I'll tell you flat out 
It hurts so much to think of this 
So from my thoughts I will exclude 
The very thing that 
I hate more than everything is 
The way I'm powerless 
To dictate my own moods 

I've thrown away 
So many things that could've been much more 
And I just pray 
My problems go away if they're ignored 
But that's not the way it works 
No that's not the way it works 

When I go down 
I go down hard 
And I take everything I've learned 
And teach myself some disregard 
When I go down 
It hurts to hit the bottom 
And of the things that got me there 
I think, if only I had fought them 

If and when I can 
Clear myself of this clouded mind 
I'll watch myself settle down 
Into a place where Peace can search me out and find 
That I'm so ready to be found 

I've thrown away 
The hope I had in friendships 
I've thrown away 
So many things that could have been much more 
I've thrown away 
The secret to find the end to this 
And I just pray 
My problems go away if they're ignored 
But that's not the way it works 
No that's not that way it works 

When I go down 
I go down hard 
And I take everything I've learned 
And teach myself some disregard 
When I go down 
It hurts to hit the bottom 
And of the things that got me there 
I think, if only I had fought them 

Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands 
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me 
Reprimands me 
Then and there I confess 
I'll blame all this on my selfishness 
Yet You love me 
And that consumes me 
And I'll stand up again 
And do so willingly 

You give me hope, and hope it gives me life 
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do You make it light 
As I exhale I hear Your voice 
And I answer You, though I hardly make a noise 
And from my lips the words I choose to say 
Seem pathetic, but it's a fallen man's praise 
Cause I love You 
Oh God, I love You 

And life is now worth living 
If only because of You 
And when they say that I am dead and gone 
It won't be further from the truth 

When I go down 
I lift my eyes to You 
I won't look very far 
Cause You'll be there 
With open arms 
To lift me up again 
To lift me up again
