You Lord, You

There are so many things
I wish I could escape
So many things I wish could pretend aren’t here
So many things,
and yet there's more.

Sometimes prayin' doesn't seem to help,
Sometimes cuttin' seems a better way out
With so many things--
Emotions, confusions
One thing holds me back from dying:
You Lord, You

Lord I pray you'll take away this pain,
Take away this anger deep inside
'Cause with You Lord
I don't know what I’d do
And with so many things,
I don't really wanna fight.

Sometimes prayin' doesn't seem to help,
Sometimes cuttin' seems a better way out
With so many things--
emotions, confusions
one thing holds me back from dying:
You Lord, You

I need Your help ,Oh, Lord
Please tell me what to do
These emotions overwhelm me
So I'm lifting them up to You

Don't

Don't live your life regretting
Don't give up now and look back
Don't ever look back and wonder why
Don't ever look back and want to cry

Don't live in the present realizing your folly
so that you'll look back and only see your own stupidity.

Don't live your life regretting
Don't give up now and look back
Don't ever look back and wonder why
Don't ever look back and want to cry

Put yourself in their shoes.
Feel the feelings that they probably do,
Then maybe you'll see their point of view,
Then maybe you'll understand
Then maybe you'll see them for them.

Don't live your life regretting.
Don't give up now and look back.
Don't ever look back and wonder why.
Don't ever look back and want to cry.
