Letra
[Verse 1]
Every day I wake and
Everythin' is broken
Turnin' off my phone
Just to get out of bed
[Verse 2]
Get home every evenin'
And history’s repeatin'
Turnin' off my phone
'Cause it’s hurtin' my chest
[PreChorus]
Hey
And heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah
But what can I do?
I can’t see the use in me cryin'
If I’m not even tryin' to make the change I wanna see
[Chorus]
I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Fallin' to my knees
Though I do believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
[Verse 3]
All I hear is voices
Everybody’s talkin'
Nothin' real is happenin'
'Cause nothin' is new
[Verse 4]
Now when all is tragic
And I just feel sedated
Why do I feel numb?
Is that all I can do?
[Verse 5]
Yeah
And heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah
But I’m only human
I can’t see the use in me cryin'
If I’m not even tryin' to make the change I wanna see
[Chorus]
I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
I'm fallin' to my knees
And though I do believe
Though I still believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
[Bridge]
And heaven knows I’m not helpless
What can I do? Yeah
Can’t see the use in me cryin'
If I’m not even tryin' to make the change I wanna see
[Chorus]
I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
I try to do the things, that
Baby, I believe
I do believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
[Outro]
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
Fallin' to my knees
And though I do believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
