(Verse 1)
Empty pockets, heavy soul
Another day has taken it's toll
I swore this time would be the last
Yet I keep choosing the same old path
I know the path that I should choose
But I choose the one that makes me lose
I don't like who I am today
Ashamed of the choices that I make
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m agitated… don’t bother me
I’m irritated… just let me be
Got things on my mind that I can’t let go of
Nobody can help me ’cept the good Lord above
(Chorus)
Lord, I’m tired of running from Your grace
Tired of this fake smile on my face
Every chain I’ve tried to break pulls tighter still
But I know You can bend my stubborn will
Take these burdens that I cannot bear
Find me in this desperate prayer
I don’t wanna be who I’ve become
Lord, lead this broken sinner home
(Verse 2)
Friends don’t call the way they used to
I push away the ones who do
Every little thing gets on my nerves
They don’t deserve my bitter words
I built these walls around my heart
Brick by brick they fell apart
I’m tired of fighting me each day
Lord, there has to be a better way
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m agitated… don’t bother me
I’m irritated… just let me be
Got things on my mind that I can’t let go of
Nobody can help me ’cept the good Lord above
(Chorus)
Lord, I’m tired of running from Your grace
Tired of this fake smile on my face
Every chain I’ve tried to break pulls tighter still
But I know You can bend my stubborn will
Take these burdens that I cannot bear
Find me in this desperate prayer
I don’t wanna be who I’ve become
Lord, lead this broken sinner home
(Bridge)
I wanna smile like I used to smile
Walk with You through every mile
Find the peace this world can’t give
Lord, teach this broken heart to live
Wash away these wasted years
Every failure and every fear
I can’t make it on my own
Jesus, lead Your child back home
(Final Chorus)
Lord, I’m tired of running from Your grace
Tired of this fake smile on my face
Every chain I’ve tried to break pulls tighter still
But I know You can bend my stubborn will
Take these burdens that I cannot bear
Find me in this desperate prayer
I wanna smile like I used to smile
Walk with You through every mile
I don’t wanna be who I’ve become
Lord, lead this broken sinner home
