Woke up and read the news Start my day cryin' over Things you prayed would break our hearts When my sisters and I were young You said, "We're tryin' to learn To consider others more important than ourselves" Well, I'm not the one yellin' But you say I'm too emotional Walk away kickin' myself Should I save my tears for somebody else? Watchin' your sermon lookin' for an apology Sat through so many, and they always used to panic me Face the pews, I need to leave Go sit in the balcony Sync my breathin' with the AC Pretend I'm in the nosebleed seats Well, I guess I've had enough You preach peace and patience But, you don't seem to have your own I'm tired of callin' your bluff And I know I've said it more than just once I know I'm not Jesus But Jesus, I'm tryin' to be enough Wrote you a letter, tryin' hard to describe myself You never seemed to see me You always saw someone else that I wasn't tryin' to be To get you to love me You said when I was a kid I was always runnin' away from a hug or some kind of loving And hey, maybe you were right And hey, maybe I still might Come on, you don't have to be so tough If you'll try to listen, then I'll try to call you up And I'll let you call my bluff And I know I've said more than just once I know I'm not Jesus But Jesus, I'm tryin' to be enough
