pulling up to church
on christmas eve
felt like running into an old friend
i no longer know
we always had our differences
you hated most the things i did
but when you're young
you can let that go
i thought seeing you would be my loss,
but i know that i'm better off
'cause our versions of better aren't the same
still i get confused, every time i think of you
a sense of love and hate
that i could never name
chorus:
you say i've changed but i don't feel shame
you're the one to blame, you made me break
i tried to stay, but i went insane
couldn't stand the pain
it nearly killed me
you always said that if i left, i'd never feel joy again
but somehow i still do
and now that i'm free, i show the world the parts of me
i always had to hide from you
chorus
and when i'm down it's not because
i didn't pray hard enough
i refuse to believe that if i disagree
then i don't know god
chorus
but at the end of the day
somehow i still pray
for your merciless mistakes
lord they know not their ways
you may never change
but i finally feel safe
in the sanctuary
i've built in me
