Back Down

I am not who I want to be,

even though I try. 

It seems I’ve fallen short again

I didn’t even mean it that way. 

Every day has been a step back

Back to a place I didn’t want to be

But I’ve found myself here again

I’m back down on my knees

Things have weighed me down

I thought I could carry this all myself

But I have no energy left to try

I’m trying to get back up again

But I’ll just end up back down here.

I’m not who you’d thought I’d be

Even though I’d try.

It seems the truth has been seen again

I didn’t ever mean it that way.

Every night has been a setback

Back to a place I never wanted to be.

But I’ve found myself here again

I’m back down on my knees

Things have gotten me down

I thought I could do this by myself

But I have no passion left to try

I’m want to get back up again

But I’ll just come back down here.

You are making me who I need to be

I don’t have to try

Your mercy is what I need today

Compassion washes my pride away

Every morning you bring me back

Back to a place I need to be.

So I’m bringing myself here again

I’m falling to my knees

I’m bring myself to this place

Because I know I can’t do it all myself

I’ve realized that I don’t have to try

I don’t want to get up again

Because this is where I need to be.
