Broken Together

I’ve never been so lost I’ve never been so broken Death has her hands around my neck And I’ve lost all devotion Weighed down by this guilt I carry My mind is my adversary Tonight I don’t want the answer Please spare me your words of false sincerity I’ve heard the lies a thousand times But I have yet to be just fine Tonight I don’t want a hear a word I just want you to be there Let’s be broken together It feels like I’m either a ghost Or the one to be judged It’s like they see my imperfections Or nothing at all I try to be the best that I can But in the end I’m not even a man When I finally find the strength to stand Life finds a way to push me back down again Tonight I don’t want the answer Please spare me your words of false sincerity I’ve heard the lies a thousand times But I have yet to be just fine Tonight I don’t want a hear a word I just want you to be there Let’s be broken together God I don’t want to lose my faith in you But God Do you even see what I go through I need to know Why I was made this way God I know that you love me But why are you so hard to see Please answer my broken prayer Because right now I need you here
