It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room

I've crossed the last line
From where I can't return
Where every step I took in faith
Betrayed me
And led me from my home

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

You take me in
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness
That surrounds me

Are you an angel
Am I already that gone
I only hope that I won't disappoint you
When I'm down here on my knees

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give (who are you?)

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

And I don't understand
By the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything about you

It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give (who are you?)

Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

    It's funny how a matter of moments can change one's concept of a piece of music... I never liked this song until I saw/heard it in concert... There was a screen behind the stage on which they projected different abstract pictures for the songs, and the first few notes in Sweet Surrender were perfectly synchronised with bolts of lightning. The awesome but simple imagery struck me (so to speak) with the raw honesty of this song. I love it now. And I'm glad of that.
