[Verse 1]
I walk in this world like a stranger
Wrong skin on my bones
Wrong name
Every room feels colder when I enter
Every smile feels welded to my shame
[Verse 2]
They say You knit me in Your image
But the mirror keeps calling me a lie
If I was crafted by Your fingers
Why do I only feel goodbye
[Chorus]
Answer me
God
Are You hearin’ what I’m cryin’ in the dark? (oh Lord)
I was not made to be here
I just don’t fit in this heartless part
If there’s a place where all this aching makes sense
Won’t You pull me through the door I can’t see?
Answer me
God
Or at least sit in this sorrow with me
[Verse 3]
Every pew got a clean-cut preacher
Every song got a shining choir face
I’m the stain on the back row cushion
I’m the one that never finds a place
[Pre-Chorus]
Did You drop me in the wrong story?
Did I miss the line where I belong?
If there’s purpose buried in this torment
Why does it feel like You’ve been gone so long? (so long)
[Chorus]
Answer me
God
Are You hearin’ what I’m cryin’ in the dark?
I was not made to be here
I just don’t fit in this heartless part
If there’s a plan in all this tearing apart
Won’t You whisper why You’re letting it be?
Answer me
God
Or at least sit in this sorrow with me
[Bridge]
I’m not askin’ for a palace
Just a corner where the hurt can breathe
Just a hand on my shoulder in the madness
Just a word that You ain’t tired of me (oh Lord)
If Your Son died for the broken
Then this break must matter too
So if You won’t lift me out this valley
Teach these bleeding feet to walk with You
[Chorus]
Answer me
God
Are You hearin’ what I’m cryin’ in the dark? (hear me now)
I was not made to be here
I just don’t fit in this shattered part
If there’s a home where all these misfits belong
Won’t You light it like a fire for me?
Answer me
God
If You won’t end the pain
Just stay in it with me (oh stay)
[Outro]
I was not made to be here
Yet I’m holdin’ on to Your name
If I’m wrong for this whole wide world
Be the One place I ain’t wrong again
Lord
