The Human Side of Me

Woke up this morning, my stomach is already in knots. 

The sky is so gray…

 

Edge of my bed, struggling to gather my thoughts, I don’t even want to be awake.

 

 

I’m feeling like I’m too far gone, the hope of healing has already moved on,

and now I’m dealing with so many things I never knew

were buried deep inside of me –

 

Oh! I don’t have the words to say,

Oh!  You’re the only hope I have to change,

Your love keeps showing me, you understand

the human side of me…

 

Crazy how long pain and bitterness can linger on, throwing me shade…

I’m always feeling like I’m too far gone; the hope of healing, it’s already moved on,

and now I’m dealing with so many things I never knew were buried deep inside of me…

 

Oh! I don’t have the words to say. Oh, you’re the only hope I have to change,

your love keeps showing me, you understand the human side of me…

 

the human side of me…

 

I’m so thankful I can tell You how I’m feeling, what I’m going through,

I’m so thankful You can handle all of my chaos, all of my chaos.

Oh!  I don’t have the words to say, you’re the only hope I have today…

Your love keeps showing me You understand –

 

You understand.
