Leave Me the Love by Melodie Yvonne
All rash anger is heart murder and it scars my soul
Just tryin’ hard not to be salty’s harder than you know
And every time that I lash out I just regret again
Oh how on earth can you love me when I’m so full of sin
Oh how on earth can you love me when I’m so full of sin
Oh why on earth do I lay down and let this evil win
Please Lord help me and give me strength from heaven up above
Oh Lord take out the bad in me and just leave me the love
Oh please Lord will you heal my soul and tell me what to do
Oh Lord I’m here to follow you with everything I do
But every time I let my heart start wanderin’ again
Lord how on earth can you love me when I’m so full of sin
Oh how on earth can you love me when I’m so full of sin
Oh why on earth do I lay down and let this evil win
Please Lord help me and give me strength from heaven up above
Oh Lord take out the bad in me and just leave me the love
