No matter how we remain in denial
Wasting time, replacing time with each and every excuse
But that will only work a little while
Coping with despair
Knowing you're not there
Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool
So I blame it on the sun
Run away from everyone
Hoping to escape this ridicule
Trapped in misery
Wrapped so miserably
And his deception I wear it like a skin
Dying to maintain
While I keep trying to explain
A heart that never loved me to begin with
Oh I'm such a mess
I have no choice but to confess
That I have been desperately trying to belong
Lying to myself and everybody else
Refusing to admit my right was wrong
And then he came, Selah
And it means praise and meditation
And then he came, Selah
And it means did you think about that
And then he came, Selah
And it means praise and meditation
And then he came, Selah
And it means that you see
How beautiful his fruits still in denial of it's roots
My guilty heart behaves so foolishly
This treason from within that reasons with my sin
Won't be happy till it sees the death of me
Selfishly addicted to a life that I depicted
Conflicted 'cause it's not reality
All that's left of me
Oh I beg you desperately
Cause me to agree for what I know is best for me
Please save me from myself
I need to save me from myself
Please save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can hear you
The choices that I make have been nothing but mistakes
What a waste of useless space
Should I die before I wake
And all of my religion
I've fortified this prison
Obligated to obey, that the man's bad decision
Please save me from myself
I need you to save me from myself
Please save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can hear you
And then he came, Selah
And it means praise and meditation
And then he came, Selah
And it means did you think about that
And he came, Selah
And it means meditation
And then he came, Selah
And it means that it's you
And then it came
And then he came and he came and he came
And then he
And then he came
Nothing can be done against the truth No matter how we remain in denial Wasting time, replacing time with each and every excuse But that will only work a little while Coping with despair Knowing you're not there Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool So I blame it on the sun Run away from everyone Hoping to escape this ridicule Trapped in misery Wrapped so miserably And his deception I wear it like a skin Dying to maintain While I keep trying to explain A heart that never loved me to begin with Oh I'm such a mess I have no choice but to confess That I have been desperately trying to belong Lying to myself and everybody else Refusing to admit my right was wrong And then he came, Selah And it means praise and meditation And then he came, Selah And it means did you think about that And then he came, Selah And it means praise and meditation And then he came, Selah And it means that you see How beautiful his fruits still in denial of it's roots My guilty heart behaves so foolishly This treason from within that reasons with my sin Won't be happy till it sees the death of me Selfishly addicted to a life that I depicted Conflicted 'cause it's not reality All that's left of me Oh I beg you desperately Cause me to agree for what I know is best for me Please save me from myself I need to save me from myself Please save me from myself Please save me from myself so I can hear you The choices that I make have been nothing but mistakes What a waste of useless space Should I die before I wake And all of my religion I've fortified this prison Obligated to obey, that the man's bad decision Please save me from myself I need you to save me from myself Please save me from myself Please save me from myself so I can hear you And then he came, Selah And it means praise and meditation And then he came, Selah And it means did you think about that And he came, Selah And it means meditation And then he came, Selah And it means that it's you And then it came And then he came and he came and he came And then he And then he came Explain Request ×
