That’s Why I’m Dying

Everybody’s always doing things
That I wish I were doing
And everybody’s ideas
Are better than mine
And everybody’s always saying things
That I wish I were saying
And everybody seems so sure all the time
So can you help me

When will I measure up
When will I be enough
I don’t know

Oh the problem with believing
After this comes something better
Then this place doesn’t seem
Worth sticking around
I’m rubbing elbows with
The liars hypocrites and fake believers
And I keep wishing for the end right now
So will you help me

Why can’t I rise above
When will I become love
I don’t know

That’s why I’m dying
I’m dying just let me go
I spend my time trying
Still dying just take me home

Yes I believe but I admit
My human nature
My better judgement
Doesn’t win every time
There’s this lack of confidence
That comes with sin
It feels familiar
It’s like an old friend leaving me
Hung out to dry
Somebody help me

Why can’t I rise above
When will I become love
I don’t know

That’s why I’m dying
I’m dying just let me go
I spend my time trying
Still dying just take me home
Yeah that’s why I’m dying
I’m dying just take me home
I spend my time trying
Still dying just let me go
