Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me toss and turn
Let me lose some sleep
Let me drive, let me drown
Pull over on the shoulder and just break down
Ooh, wanna be your strength
Ooh, when all hell breaks
And I can be, I can be, I can be your heart of stone
So you don't have to feel, you don't have to feel anything, baby
If you let me be your Jesus
You won't have to go through hell alone
Let it rain, let it pour
Let the devil go ahead and open up that door
'Cause I will be like a wall between
Your shackles and chains, I will break you free
Ooh, I'm a tear fallin' down
Ooh, when you hit the ground
I can do, I can do, I can do the crying, baby
And I can be, I can be, I can be your heart of stone
So you don't have to feel, you don't have to feel anything, baby
If you let me be your Jesus
You won't have to go through hell alone
Ooh, any cross you bear
Ooh, when life ain't fair
Ooh, I'll be right there
I can do, I can do, I can do the crying, baby
And I can be, I can be, I can be your heart of stone
So you don't have to feel, you don't have to feel anything, baby
If you let me be your Jesus
You won't have to go through hell alone
You won't have to go through hell alone
You won't have to go through hell alone
