The Brokenness of Me

I look into such emptiness Lay awake in such loneliness I thought I started to heal Started to feel But I’m lost within these tears So caught between my fears So it’s just another lonely day Another white faded to grey Such a blinding darkness Casts over me Such a haunting loneliness No one will ever see Underneath the stars I can see who you are To think I could fool myself to believe She’d ever take a second glance to see The brokenness of me I know I’m not the one That everyone wants to see I know I’m not the man I need to be Every mistake I’ve ever made Haunts me every single day I feel so weighed down So lost within her crown Underneath the stars I can see who you are To think I could fool myself to believe She’d ever take a second glance to see The brokenness of me In the midst of these tears I’ve prayed for you through the years No matter what I do I’ll never be worthy of you God, I’m begging on my knees Please make me who I need to be I can’t do this on my own Without grace I’m all alone Underneath the stars I can see who you are To think I could fool myself to believe She’d ever take a second glance to see The brokenness of me
