Off My Mind - Daniel Amos

I’ve been brought down far too long

Lost hope to life’s violent crimes

I’ve been shot down, robbed, and harmed

But in the grip of loneliness

You give me understanding

I try to walk away, but baby it ain’t no use

I can’t live without you

I can’t get you off of my mind

I can’t get you off of my mind

I tell myself I will in time, but

I can’t get you off of my mind

I’ve held pity like my pride

So close, so dear, and yet so killing

Who is my friend, my comfort, and guide?

But in the grip of bitterness, You are so undemanding

You give me room to breathe

There’s no pressure here

But it’s like I can’t live without You

To give a heart is such a dangerous thing

You put it on the line, you’re really taking your chances

I guess it’s worth the fall

'Cause baby after all

What good is life if it’s… it’s lived without love?

But I’m giving my love and I’m taking my chances
