Me Against the World
Verse 1: I don't want to be the one that got away
I swear you like the wind every night and day
Katy Perry is on the radio and I'm wondering how it's like to be in her shoes
I wish I was like Johnny Cash or Elvis Presley, singing those silly blues
Lying to myself that everything's alright,
But, based on reality's truth, it's the total opposite
I feel His spirit around me day and night
He leaves me with no regrets and it's so exquisite
Pre-chorus: I don't want you to consider me as the one that got away
I lost all hopes and trying to help this heart that beats so much and it's led astray
Messaging friends all night long
Till my eyes begin to swelter and grow so fatigued... Until everything is a blur
Feeling so right for doing something that's so wrong
I throw my hands up in the air without any care whatsoever
I'm going downhill
Don't be a downdrag
Uplift me if you will
You threw me out like a filthy rag
Life is a game of never-ending tag
Chorus: Dancing like whatever, not caring about the crowd and their judgmental views in life
You ruined my self-esteem, but baby you're still on my team...we're on each other's team
For it's we against the world it's we against the world it's me against the world
We need to learn to forget and forgive the past and move forward to a bright future without a trace of strife
For it's we against the world it's we against the world for it's me against the world
You won't push me down because I will rise up again...I will be your perfect storm that is shining agleam
For it's me against the world
it's not we against the world...
it's me against the world
Verse 2: Make me feel like I am someone that's more significant
Make me feel like the hidden treasure chest in the island of isolated illumination
You're the giant of graceful boldness and I am that poor, puny and pathetic ant
You shouldn't worry about a thing for I look after myself as long as you give me all-remaining jubilation without any hesitation
You don't have to try to impress me, but to express to me the progress you're making so far
You and I need to listen to His instruction and do what He says more often than not
I understand that taking His correction is hard to do with immediate joy, but He will heal our every scar
You and I need some protection from the demons that cast their deceptive spells on us a lot
God will not leave us as an empty lot
Also, I'm pretty sure He wouldn't leave us to rot
Pre-chorus: I don't want you to consider me as the one that got away
I lost all hopes and trying to help this heart that beats so much and it's led astray
Messaging friends all night long
Till my eyes begin to swelter and grow so fatigued... Until everything is a blur
Feeling so right for doing something that's so wrong
I throw my hands up in the air without any care whatsoever
I'm going downhill
Don't be a downdrag
Uplift me if you will
You threw me out like a filthy rag
Life is a game of never-ending tag
Chorus: Dancing like whatever, not caring about the crowd and their judgmental views in life
You ruined my self-esteem, but baby you're still on my team...we're on each other's team
For it's we against the world it's we against the world it's me against the world
We need to learn to forget and forgive the past and move forward to a bright future without a trace of strife
For it's we against the world it's we against the world for it's me against the world
You won't push me down because I will rise up again...I will be your perfect storm that is shining agleam
For it's me against the world
it's not we against the world...
it's me against the world
Verse 3: I don't want to face the wrath of the Lord, but I must face my fears
I have to repent for all the sins I've committed or I'll drown miserably in these pain-inspired tears
Sift out the regrets that I have carried with me forever it seems
