Count It All as Lost Lyrics
I want to believe
These words are more than letters to me
I want to believe
A covenant to stand the battlefield of time
Many times I've written words holding me to stay pure
Where is the truth in these motions
Afterwards feeling motionless
Motionless
I keep breaking my promises
I keep breaking my word to you and I
I keep breaking my promises
Once again, I'm letting you down
How must a broken man fix his brokenness
If he's not the answer
I can't do this on my own, on my own
I need you here, I need you here, I need you here
Each and every day that passes
Leaves me worse off than before
Many times I've sworn
I wouldn't look back
Never look back
Instead of fighting to be a man
I just want to know
Who I am
Fighting with my fists
Leaves me bloody and broken
Almost every single time
So I'm going at it
With your strength instead of mine
Please, be my strength [x2]
I need you here [x2]
I've carried
This burden
Long enough
With a heart of conviction
I've betrayed us both
I have to forfait
The shame is too much to take the lead
and reign over me
Reign, reign, reign over me [x2]
You knew you'd find me here
Find me here
It took me losing sight
To count it all as lost
All as lost
To see that I'm finally found
Count it all as lost
There so much more to gain
Count it all as lost
Take the lead and reign over me
These words are more than letters to me
I want to believe
Many times I've written words holding me to stay pure
Where is the truth in these motions
Afterwards feeling motionless
Motionless
I keep breaking my word to you and I
I keep breaking my promises
Once again, I'm letting you down
If he's not the answer
I can't do this on my own, on my own
I need you here, I need you here, I need you here
Leaves me worse off than before
Many times I've sworn
I wouldn't look back
Never look back
I just want to know
Who I am
Fighting with my fists
Leaves me bloody and broken
Almost every single time
With your strength instead of mine
Please, be my strength [x2]
This burden
Long enough
With a heart of conviction
I've betrayed us both
The shame is too much to take the lead
and reign over me
Find me here
It took me losing sight
To count it all as lost
All as lost
To see that I'm finally found
Count it all as lost
There so much more to gain
Count it all as lost
Take the lead and reign over me

Given the religious beliefs of the band I would suggest that this is a song about "failing" God, and wanting God to lead the way (get them back on the path to righteousness etc.)
If I didn't know the bands religious beliefs I would suggest that this song could be about a loved one (a partner). To me it speaks a bit of how I felt before I met my wife. I needed someone to come along and give me strength and make me a better man. I felt broken after a bad relationship before her, and she was my rock (my salvation).
That is what I love about music, you can take from it what you want ...
