I Ran Myself Dry
Redemption's Embrace: A Journey of Lost and Found Love
Lyrics
I ran myself dry
I exhausted myself emotionally
Trying to maintain a love that couldn't satisfy
Attempted to maintain a love that couldn't bring fulfillment
But you were there the entire time
The person addressed was present throughout
Waiting on me
Waited for the speaker
So patiently
Exhibited patience
And I had lost myself
Lost self-identity
Trying to find my life in someone else
Sought purpose in someone else's life
When the only one who really knew me well
The only one who truly knew the speaker
Waited on me
Waited patiently
So patiently
Exhibited patience
And it was
Transition to a pivotal moment
By your
Emphasizing the source of mercy
Mercy that I was not consumed
Survived due to mercy
And it was
Highlighting the source of goodness
By your
Returned to a positive state due to goodness
Goodness that I came back to you
Reiterating the positive transformation
I came back to you
Affirmation of the return to a better state
And I'd stay up all night
Staying awake, contemplating the absence of light
Trying to understand how I could miss your light
Trying to comprehend the absence of the addressed person's influence
Questioning and wondering why
Questioning why the person waited patiently
You waited on me
Affirmation of patience
So patiently
Patience was extended
And it was
Reiteration of the source of mercy
By your
Survived due to mercy
Mercy that I was not consumed
Reiteration of the source of goodness
And it was
Returned to a positive state due to goodness
By your
Affirmation of positive transformation
Goodness that I came back to you
Reiterating the return to a better state
I came back to you
Affirmation of the return
'Cause you loved me too much
Love was the driving force for positive change
To leave me where I was
Love prevented the speaker from remaining stagnant
You loved me too much
Repeated affirmation of the impact of love
To leave me where I was
Love was a catalyst for positive change
Jesus, you loved me too much
Acknowledgment of overwhelming love
To leave me where I was
Love's transformative power
And when I thought hope was lost
When hope seemed lost, the person was uplifted
You came and picked me up
Expressing rescue and support
And it was
Reiteration of the source of mercy
By your
Survived due to mercy
Mercy that I was not consumed
Reiteration of the source of goodness
And it was
Returned to a positive state due to goodness
By your
Affirmation of positive transformation
Goodness that I came back to you
Reiterating the return to a better state
I came back to you
Affirmation of the return
You loved me too much
Love was the driving force for positive change
To leave me where I was (I came back to you)
Affirmation of the return to a better state
(I came back to you) 'cause you loved me too much
Repeated affirmation of the impact of love
To leave me where I was
Love prevented the speaker from remaining stagnant
I came back to you
Affirmation of the return
