Song Lyrics

---

Gotta do this, gotta do that
Gotta be here, gotta go there
Always thought I would have more time
I really meant to, I never really cared
There wasn’t enough reason
There was never enough time
Not enough proof for me
Was unbelief really such a crime

You could give any number of excuses
They’ll just fall down one by one
You could say that you went half way
But you know you can’t straddle that line
Half your heart and all your excuses
Are not enough when it’s said and done
‘Cause on that day He’ll just say,
“I never knew you, you were never mine.”

So look inside of your heart
What are you really waiting for
You know He’s been knocking all this time
Why don’t you ever open that door
Everything you hide He already knows
But He loves you just the same
Forget about everyone else
Forget about the shame

You could give any number of excuses
They’ll just fall down one by one
You could say that you went half way
But you know you can’t straddle that line
Half your heart and all your excuses
Are not enough when it’s said and done
‘Cause on that day He’ll just say,
“I never knew you, you were never mine.”

Was the world really worth the price that you paid
All you sold your soul for has turned to dust
Look at your life, at the mess that you’ve made
So give him all your heart, and life, and all your trust

‘Cause you could give any number of excuses
And they’d just fall down one by one
You could say that you went half way
But you know you can’t straddle that line
Half your heart and all your excuses
Are not enough when is said and done
‘Cause on that day He’ll just say,
“I never knew you, you were never mine.”
