Help Me Like You Do

[Verse 1]
I’m seventeen and I feel eighty
Heart too heavy for this room
Friends all laughing in the hallway
I’m staring at my shoes
They say “it’s just hormones, you’ll grow out of it”
But this storm’s been here awhile
I’m tired of pretending I’m alright
When I can barely fake a smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do I think like this?
Why does my own mind twist?
I’m so done guessing
So I’m confessing
[Chorus]
Help me like You do
When I don’t understand me
When my thoughts run wild
And I can’t stand me
I don’t know my heart
But I know You’re true
So I’m holding out these shaking hands
Help me like You do (yeah)
Help me like You do
[Verse 2]
Mom says, “baby, God still loves you”
I nod and say, “I know”
But it’s hard to feel it in the midnight
When the dark runs the show
I overthink every little sentence
Freeze up when I wanna move
But even in the middle of the panic
I still feel You pulling through
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do I break like this?
Why does my own fear hit?
When I start drowning
I hear You shouting
[Chorus]
Help me like You do
When I don’t understand me
When my thoughts run wild
And I can’t stand me
I don’t know my heart
But I know You’re true
So I’m holding out these shaking hands
Help me like You do (oh)
Help me like You do
[Bridge]
You see the parts I hide
Every scar behind my pride
You’re in the tear I wipe away
You’re in the breath I take today (yeah)
If You’re the One who made my mind
Then You can calm the waves inside
I don’t get me, but You do
So I’m running back to You
[Chorus]
Help me like You do
When I don’t understand me
When my thoughts run wild
And I can’t stand me
I don’t know my heart
But I know You’re true
So I’m holding out these shaking hands
Help me like You do
[Chorus]
Help me like You do (help me)
When I don’t understand me
Turn this broken teenage mess
Into who You see in me
I don’t know my heart
But I know You’re true
So I’ll trust You with the parts I hate
’Cause You’re not giving up on me
Yeah, I don’t get me, but You do
Help me like You do
