Lyrics:
Every day I wake and,
Everything is broken,
Turning off my phone just to get out of bed.
Get home every evening,
And history’s repeating,
And heaven knows I’m not helpless,
Turning off my phone cuz its hurting my chest.
But what can I do?
I can’t sit and hope, I
I can’t see the use in me crying
If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see
Though I do believe
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
All I hear is voices,
Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
Everybody’s talking,
And heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah
Nothing real is happening, cause nothing is new.
Now when all is tragic,
And I just feel sedated,
Why do I feel numb, Is that all I can do?
But I’m only human.
I can find a love, when
Can’t see the use in me crying,
If I’m not even trying to make the change I want to see.
I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
Can’t see the use in me crying
Though I do believe
Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
And heaven knows I’m not helpless,
What can I do?
Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see
I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
Though I do believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach.
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
Falling to my knees
And though I do believe
