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
