17 - Chris Renzema Lyrics

Here I am confessing again
I know I've let you down
I've said it a thousand times
Never again starts now
I've slept through so many days
I've wasted so much time
Can't solve it with a song
Can't fix it with a rhyme
So I'll try
To be honest with myself again
But I can feel just so uncomfortable in my skin
Know you told me that you loved me
But I don't remember when
Oh
Feel like I was so much wiser when I was seventeen
Saw the world in just two shades, didn't stand in the in-between
If the man I was back then saw who I am right now
Wonder if he'd be disappointed in how he would turn out
So I'll try
To be honest with myself again
But I can feel just so uncomfortable in my skin
Know you told me that you loved me
But I don't remember when
Oh, oh
But I hear you say, "Child
Stop listening to yourself so much
I've made you more than worthy of my love
You are fearfully and wonderfully made and that's enough"
Oh
"Oh child
If you could see yourself the way that I do
You'd see I made you in my image and my work's not through
Oh we'll dance on this disappointment in a world made new"
Oh
Oh I know your heart is tired
The floods and the fire
Can make this seem all too far gone
Oh I know your heart is broken
But the last word's not spoken
The best is still yet to come
Oh I know your heart is tired
The floods and the fire
Can make this seem all too far gone
Oh I know your heart is broken
But the last word's not spoken
The best is still yet to come
