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
