I could sit there
Like I used to
Being second rate
And taking whatever
I could take
And hating love and all of it
But that was a long time ago
That I was
So destroyed
Now I've been renewed
But sometimes
In those funny hours
When all of a sudden
I'm just drained
And lost
I think I need some sleep
But now I'm too busy
To just
Lay down
And rest
And collect myself
I need to get off my butt
But my heart's a mess
And I know I'll
Blame it all on me
Somehow
I'm just tired
And I need so much right now
Jesus
Bring this selfish
Teenage heart
Through.
