Same old song

(Verse 1)

I bury my head into my chest,

Lost all my confidence, I must confess.

Fighting the war inside my head,

Wiping the tears that fall like rain.

Avoiding the mirror, and obsessed with the pain,

Scared to show I’m vulnerable, 'cause I'm a man.

I hold it inside as I drown in this can.

(Bridge)

I put my thoughts in a bottle and throw it in the ocean,

Give ‘em to God, let 'em go, let go of the hurt so I can grow.

God, save me, God embrace me,

Don’t let the torture of the world enslave me.

(Chorus)

I need help, I need guidance,

I’m tired of living my life through defiance.

I want to be a new me, the one I’ve controlled,

Won’t let me be, chained down by sadness, addicted to being lost.

Not caring 'til I face the cost—

Lose my family, lose my friends,

I’m tired of building this fence, never letting anyone in.

(Verse 2)

I feel alone, ashamed, and tired,

Living on fake energy just to keep me wired.

Not really wanting to see who I really am,

Going through life afraid with no plan.

God, I need you now, change my life,

Change my war, teach me to sacrifice.

Give instead of always wanting to receive,

Just taking and not knowing what to believe.

(Bridge)

I know what I’m doing wrong,

But I keep on playing this same old song.

I’m the victim, they’re the problem,

But this same song revolves around the same old me, I am the problem,

So please, set me free.

(Chorus)

I need help, I need guidance,

I’m tired of living my life through defiance.

I want to be a new me, the one I’ve controlled,

Won’t let me be, chained down by sadness, addicted to being lost.

Not caring 'til I face the cost—

Lose my family, lose my friends,

I’m tired of building this fence, never letting anyone in.

(Verse)

Help me confess, remove the distress,

Make me be my best, I can’t do this alone.

I’m just tired of this same old song.

God, I’m on my knees, humbled, lost,

And I’m begging to be set free.

Pleading just for you to help me be me.

(Bridge)

I can’t keep hiding behind this mask,

I’m asking for the courage to let go of the past.

Teach me to love, teach me to heal,

Help me find peace and something real.

(Chorus)

I need help, I need guidance,

I’m tired of living my life through defiance.

I want to be a new me, the one I’ve controlled,

Won’t let me be, chained down by sadness, addicted to being lost.

Not caring 'til I face the cost—

Lose my family, lose my friends,

I’m tired of building this fence, never letting anyone in.

(Outro)

I’m tired of this same old song,

I need to be where I belong.

God, change me, take the chains off my soul,

Let me breathe, let me feel whole.

I can’t keep playing this game,

Please help me break free from this pain.

(Fade Out)

Same old song...

Same old song...

I need you now, I need you now...
