[Verse 1]
I came home to find you on drugs
I was on the verge of every song I'd ever sung
You said, "Oh my gosh,
It's like I can't escape,
I am a child of fate."
And then you threw a plate at me
You were so wasted

[Verse 2]
All my life
I've been a child of stress
You were the worst at best
And if I may confess the worst ain't over
Yet if you call
I won't stumble
I've been humbled
Like your bottle, empty in the morning

[Chorus]
Hold on up, we've got a bleeder on our hands
I don't think you understand, get here as quickly as you can
I've grown to hate
Oh, but I have learned to love
I have learned to be
What I hoped I would become
And tell me what of you?
What did you do?
What did you say?
What did you leave behind
And who did you save?

[Verse 2]
You came home, I was on the rug
You were on the verge of every hole you'd ever dug
You said, "Oh my God,
I cannot catch a break,
But I am a child of faith."
So when you turned away, well I just laid in silence
Oh, when you turned away, well I just laid in silence

[Chorus]
Thinking hold on up, we've got a bleeder on our hands
I don't think you understand
Get here as quickly as you can
I've grown to hate
Oh, but I have learned to love
I have learned to be what I hoped I would become
And tell me what of you
What did you do
What did you say
What did you leave behind
Oh, who did you save?
[Pre-Chorus]
I am a child of faith
I am a child of faith
I am a child of faith, so I just lay

[Chorus]
Thinking hold on up, we've got a bleeder on our hands
I don't think you understand
You better do the best you can
You'll learn to hate
Oh, but you will grow to love
You will grow to be what you hoped you would become
And tell me what of me
What did I do
What did I say
What did I leave behind
Oh, who did I change?
