๐ Lyrics
I'm sitting here with a pen in my hand
And a blank page in front of me
My thoughts won't slow down, they keep running
Telling me everything I should write
I start with dear God
But then I stop
Because suddenly there's a lump in my throat
And I can't seem to find the right words
There's so much inside me
So much that hurts
So much I wanna say
But it all feels too heavy for paper
Dear God, I need you
I need your healing
Because I can feel myself breaking apart piece by piece
And I don't even know what to ask you for anymore
Except please don't let me fall apart
Oh
I look at this page and wonder how to explain
The kind of pain that doesn't have a name
The kind that keeps you awake at night
And makes you forget what laughter feels like
I've cried until my tears stopped making sense
And still I wake up feeling the same
So I write to you Not because I have faith figured out
But because you all I have left to write to Dear God
I trying to reach you through these words
I need your hand to hold me steady
Your love to remind me I'm still yours
I'm giving you whatever's left of me
Shaky, tired
But still hoping you'll hear me
And maybe you already know
Maybe you've been reading the lines I can't finish
Maybe every tear that falls is another sentence
You've already understood
Because the truth is I'm scared
I'll never feel whole again
I'll forget what joy feels like
But I still believe you can heal me
That's why I keep writing
That's why I keep calling your name
Dear God
You can see this letter
If you can hear my heart through this ink
Then come close
I'm not asking for perfect
I'm just asking for peace
Take this broken prayer
And make it enough
The page is still blank in places
But maybe that's okay
Because you already know
Everything I didn't have the strength to write
And a blank page in front of me
My thoughts won't slow down, they keep running
Telling me everything I should write
I start with dear God
But then I stop
Because suddenly there's a lump in my throat
And I can't seem to find the right words
There's so much inside me
So much that hurts
So much I wanna say
But it all feels too heavy for paper
Dear God, I need you
I need your healing
Because I can feel myself breaking apart piece by piece
And I don't even know what to ask you for anymore
Except please don't let me fall apart
Oh
I look at this page and wonder how to explain
The kind of pain that doesn't have a name
The kind that keeps you awake at night
And makes you forget what laughter feels like
I've cried until my tears stopped making sense
And still I wake up feeling the same
So I write to you Not because I have faith figured out
But because you all I have left to write to Dear God
I trying to reach you through these words
I need your hand to hold me steady
Your love to remind me I'm still yours
I'm giving you whatever's left of me
Shaky, tired
But still hoping you'll hear me
And maybe you already know
Maybe you've been reading the lines I can't finish
Maybe every tear that falls is another sentence
You've already understood
Because the truth is I'm scared
I'll never feel whole again
I'll forget what joy feels like
But I still believe you can heal me
That's why I keep writing
That's why I keep calling your name
Dear God
You can see this letter
If you can hear my heart through this ink
Then come close
I'm not asking for perfect
I'm just asking for peace
Take this broken prayer
And make it enough
The page is still blank in places
But maybe that's okay
Because you already know
Everything I didn't have the strength to write
