Lyrics
Woke up and read the news
Start my day cryin' over
Things you prayed would break our hearts
When my sisters and I were young
You said, "We're tryin' to learn
To consider others more important than ourselves"
Well, I'm not the one yellin'
But you say I'm too emotional
Walk away kickin' myself
Should I save my tears for somebody else?
Watchin' your sermon lookin' for an apology
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 breathin' 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 callin' your bluff
And I know I've said it more than just once
I know I'm not Jesus
But Jesus, I'm tryin' to be enough
Wrote you a letter, tryin' hard to describe myself
You never seemed to see me
You always saw someone else that I wasn't tryin' to be
To get you to love me
You said when I was a kid
I was always runnin' 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 tryin' to be enough
