He builds with the jealousy of a failure
Em
F
In hell and the area to hell that envelops him
Am
No relatives tellin' him it's gon' be okay

Em
F
My suggestion is don't test that boy
cause he don't play
Am
He's worn down from the storm
F
So he sits all alone with a torn frown, yeah
Am
G
He ain't eatin' them days
He don't speak, he just prays
F
he just lays there with a blank stare
Am
He's been abused and supported
G
That's why he's so paranoid
Em
F
And his youth's been destroyed
Am
And his soul has a void
Shots of liquor poppin' thistles
G
Em
and he's tootin' the blow
F
Try speakin' to the preacher,
but he's rebukin' him so
Am
He figures God is the same
G
if the preacher talks in his name
Em
F
Turned away from salvation,
basically lost in a shame
Am
G
He's got nowhere to turn,
Em
no one to comfort his heart
F
The church denied him the light,
Am
so he succumbs to the dark
Yeah
If you would take some time,
Em
F
Maybe I could get it right
Am
G
Well, I know that he loves
Am
G
me, if you don't
Em
F
That he chases and embraces us in him
Am
G
And if you would love me just as I am
Em
F
Maybe I would understand
Am
G
You say that he loved me
Am
G
enough to bear my pain
F
Really, why don't you care the same?
Am
G
She's on the strip off them pills
Em
Breaking her heel for the scrill
F
Turned out by the thrills,
Am
so burnt out she can't feel
He manipulated her mind,
G
now she can't cut him away
Em
F
She's degradin' her body,
Am
obviously stuck in her ways
G
Now she's struck with the AIDS,
Em
slow sentence of death
F
He throws her back to the plate,
Am
no commitment is left
G
So she skips to the meth,
the hobby takin' her pain
Em
F
But it's bakin' her brain,
so she ain't thinkin' the same
Am
G
She never got guidance from mother,
Em
talked to her pastor
F
But he said she had to change
Am
before the father could love her
Now she's feeling so stranded
G
and left abandoned again
Em
F
Her whole life she been misused
Am
for the advancements of men
She's reaching for heaven,
but she's left in this hell
Em
F
Finds out she is pregnant,
Am
baby's infected as well
Rejected and well,
G
no one knows how did it feel
F
Bb
F
So she swallows a whole bottle of pills,
If you would take some time,
Em

Am
G
How will I know that he loves
me if you don't,
Em
F
that he chases and embraces the city
Am

And if you would love me just as I am,
Em
F
maybe I would understand
Am
G
You say that he loved me
enough to bear my pain,
F
And really, why don't you care the same?
that temptation keeps calling my name.
F
But I keep on turning to sin,
because it's numbing my pain.
Am
F
G
And I love the Lord with all my heart,
Em
and I trust in his name.
G
Em
G
But if you only knew,
Am
Em

my soul is so crushed from this pain.
But I can't tell nobody.

They won't see me the same.
Em
F
The pressure of this ministry
is going to drive me insane.
Am
Yeah, they invite me out
G
and pay me for my time.
Em
F
But do they even care
about the man behind this grind?
Am
Or do they want to use
Em
F
Cause I've been crying out
but Lord is anybody listening?
Am
Huh, and at this point I
G
don't care about positions
Em
F
I'm so broken and insecure,
Lord I need fixing
Am
I need to be discipled
and still need to be fathered
Em
F
But they too busy
and they treat me
like they can't be bothered

Yeah, and this is coming
