Woke up and read the news Start my day crying over Things you prayed would break our hearts
When my sisters and I were young You said "We're trying to learn To consider others more important than ourselves"
Well, I'm not the one yelling But you say I'm too emotional Walk away kicking myself Should I save my tears for somebody else?
Watching your sermon looking for an apology I sat through so many and they always used to panic me Face the pews I need to leave Go sit in the balcony Sync my breathing with the AC Pretend I'm in the nosebleed seats
Well, I guess I've had enough You preach peace and patience But you don't seem to have your own I'm tired of calling your bluff
And I know I've said it more than just once I know I'm not Jesus But Jesus, I'm trying to be enough
Wrote you a letter trying hard to describe myself You never seemed to see me You always saw someone else I wasn't trying to be To get you to love me
You said when I was a kid I was always running away from a hug or some kind of loving And hey, maybe you were right And hey, maybe I still might
Come on, you don't have to be so tough If you'll try to listen then I'll try to call you up And I'll let you call my bluff
And I know I've said more than just once I know I'm not Jesus But Jesus, I'm trying to be enough
