Compared To You, I Am Nothing

Hello…could you hear me out?
Please love me and forgive me for once
All the people are dancing around…
Hate to say it, but it seems like you’re smarter than me
Play my favorite songs on the radio…

So, come over here…you wanna hear a secret?
I’m gonna whisper the truth
I gottah listen to God’s truth
You are feeling a little tense…
I could feel it in my bones…they rattle and they’re brittle
I feel so little
Compared to you…

I feel lost in a multitude 
Will you hear my prayer tonight?
My heart is racing…my heart is thumping in a high volume…
I could feel it in my bones…they rattle and they’re brittle

So, come over here…you wanna hear a secret?
I’m gonna whisper the truth
I gottah listen to God’s truth
You are feeling a little tense…
I could feel it in my bones…they rattle and they’re brittle
I feel so little
Compared to you…

I feel so little
Compared to you…
Don’t hold things against me…
Please don’t keep grudges…

So, come over here…you wanna hear a secret?
I’m gonna whisper the truth
I gottah listen to God’s truth
You are feeling a little tense…
I could feel it in my bones…they rattle and they’re brittle
I feel so little
Compared to you…
