[Verse 1]
I wake up, put my face on
Paint a smile just to get through the day
They ask me, “How you holding?”
I just lie and say I’m okay
But they don’t see the silence
When the room gets too loud in my head
Every memory keeps calling
And I replay the last words you said
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m breaking in pieces, nobody knows
Carrying grief everywhere that I go
I laugh just to hide it, I smile through pain
But when I’m alone, I’m calling Your name
[Chorus]
God, can You hear me?
I’m down on my knees
I’m crying, I’m screaming
“Take this pain from me”
I’m tired of pretending
Like I’m strong, like I’m whole
‘Cause I’m dying inside
And it’s breaking my soul
Oh Lord… please
Take this hurt away from me
[Verse 2]
Everybody thinks I’m healing
‘Cause I don’t let the tears fall down
But every night I’m sinking
In a place I just can’t get out
I’m angry, I’m shattered
Don’t understand Your bigger plan
Why You took the one I needed?
Why You didn’t take my hand?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m losing my faith, but I’m holding on
Feels like my strength is already gone
I whisper Your name through the pain I feel
Hoping somehow this hurt ain’t real
[Chorus]
God, can You hear me?
I’m down on my knees
I’m crying, I’m screaming
“Take this pain from me”
I’m tired of pretending
Like I’m strong, like I’m whole
‘Cause I’m dying inside
And it’s breaking my soul
[Bridge – Soft to Powerful Build]
(Soft)
I don’t wanna fake it no more…
I don’t wanna hide these tears…
(Building)
You see every scar I carry
You been with me through these years
(Power rising)
So I’m laying it all down
Every hurt, every fear
If You’re listening right now…
God, I need You here
[Breakdown – Cry/Wail Section]
WHY DOES IT HURT SO BAD?!
WHY WON’T IT LET ME GO?!
I’M TIRED OF BEING STRONG…
WHEN I’M FALLING ALL ALONE!
(Voice cracks, crying)
Lord… I can’t do this by myself…
I need Your help…
[Final Chorus – Full Gospel Power]
God, can You hear me?!
I’m crying out loud!
I don’t have the strength now
But I need You right now!
Pick me up from this pain
Hold my heart in Your hands
Even when I don’t understand…
[Outro – Soft, broken but hopeful]
I’ll keep calling Your name…
Through the tears and the rain…
Even hurting this way…
I still believe…
You’ll take this pain… someday…
