Lyrics

They watch everything I do
Waiting for the day they can say I slipped up
Always bringing up my past like I ain't remember
Oh no they look so confused
Yes they do when I say I'm a sinner
I don't think they get it
No I ain't perfect
That's why I'm a Christian
Yeah they knocking everything I say
Constantly watching every move I make
Lord forbid if I make a mistake
Then everyone will say that I'm pretending
I don't think they get it
Yeah I need work I'll be the first to admit it
Yeah I fall short even though I'm a Christian
I expose my demons while they keep theirs hidden
I keep hearing what I'm doing is a gimmick
Go and criticize man I'm my worst critic
I put it all on the line for the critics
Like after being saved I was still lusting women
How I back slid and went back to the lines
Believing that lie like it helps with my lyrics
And there were times I stayed up all night
And I questioned myself if I really was forgiven
And it really took a minute for me to feel the conviction
The more they were condemning the more I was losing interest
I needed help to get out my sins
The more they judged the more I was staying in it
People started telling me they found hope in my lyrics
So I played it back listened hoping I would get it
And it killed me not to know if I did or I didn't
So I replied praise God man I'm only forgiven
No I ain't perfect
Yes I'm a sinner
And I'm unworthy
Yes I'll admit it
I made mistakes
I know I done things wrong
But you'll never hear me say
I'm not forgiven
Yes I'm a Christian
I'm still a sinner
I'm still not perfect
Yes I'll admit it
I make mistakes
I'll probably make some more
But you'll never hear me say
I'm not forgiven
On the outside I feel so alive
On the inside I'm slowly dying
Fighting an addiction still lusting women
If I said I wasn't I'd be lying
To be alive I got to be honest
And face my demons and stop hiding them
Yeah my face is smiling but my soul is crying
This ain't easy but Lord I'm trying
See I had a fear if I let this out
They would look at me different
Truth is if I keep this hidden
Then how can I say that I'm forgiven
And on top of that my spirit's at war with my flesh
Cause my flesh won't let me rest
Keep telling myself I don't need no help
Jesus
And I admit man I'm far from perfect
Hurt a lot of people that didn't deserve it
Some say the worst pain is when the tables turn
But I feel it's the view you get when they turning
And I don't know about you
But here's something about me
I done been through the storms I done walked through the rain
But I thank him for it all cause I wouldn't be here to say
