Lyrics:
Every day I wake and,
Everything is broken,
Turning off my phone just to get out of bed.
Get home every evening,
And historyās repeating,
Turning off my phone cuz its hurting my chest.
And heaven knows Iām not helpless,
But what can I do?
I canāt see the use in me crying
If Iām not even trying to make the change I wanna see
I canāt sit and hope, I
Canāt just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
Though I do believe
Oh, I canāt just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I canāt just preach, baby, preach
All I hear is voices,
Everybodyās talking,
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?
And heaven knows Iām not helpless, yeah
But Iām only human.
Canāt see the use in me crying,
If Iām not even trying to make the change I want to see.
I canāt sit and hope, I
Canāt just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
Though I do believe
Oh, I canāt just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I canāt just preach, baby, preach
And heaven knows Iām not helpless,
What can I do?
Canāt see the use in me crying
If Iām not even trying to make the change I wanna see
I canāt sit and hope, I
Canāt just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
Though I do believe
Oh, I canāt just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I canāt just preach, baby, preach
Falling to my knees
And though I do believe
I canāt just preach, baby, preach.
