The Lyrics Thread

We practice being perfect
Make believe we don’t make mistakes
We work hard but it’s still not working
Wonder where we lost our faith
It didn’t erase the pain, now what?
All the real got fake, now what?
All the hype got lame, now what?
Now what?
Now what do I do with the emptiness?
I’ve been doing everything that Simon says
It didn’t bring me happiness
Now what? Now what? Now what?
 
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But no one ever warned me about words
I smile and I pretend it doesn't hurt
But the older that I get, it just gets worse
Lord, find me and remind me that my worth
Is worth so much more than their words
 
Strong, try to make 'em all think I'm strong
Yeah, the face I keep putting on says I ain't tired
But these tear-stained eyes ain't lying
'Cause hard, nobody told me life could be so hard
A weary soul with a worn out heart that's barely beating
But every time I get that feeling
 
Strong, try to make 'em all think I'm strong
Yeah, the face I keep putting on says I ain't tired
But these tear-stained eyes ain't lying
'Cause hard, nobody told me life could be so hard
A weary soul with a worn out heart that's barely beating
But every time I get that feeling
I hit my knees with my hands held high
Saying, "Dear Lord, Jesus, you know I can't do this on my own
I can't do this on my own"
Lord knows I've tried, but I'm good at falling down
Thank God you're good at picking me up off the ground
The world's gonna try to break me
But I know the one who makes me
Strong
 
So many nights I stayed in
Trying to bear the weight when
All that I want is already done
You bridge the space I'm feeling
When all I can see is ceiling
Every time that I look up
 
If there's nothing left of who we are, I'll leave
But you're not making it easy
You got a story out of me
Now you don't even act like you need me
I hope you know that I am
I am more than the check in your pocket
You can cash in when you wanna feel something
You could be a millionaire, but you won't have me
 
So when they ask you, will you say who loved you first?
Or will you tell them I was there back at your worst?
'Cause I won't chase your love, darling, that would only make it hurt
But don't forget how hard I tried to make this work
