I always thought I was the one
The one to be the one you want
And everything is perfect like the movies
I’m not afraid of letting go
But don’t get too close
take it slow
Just look around I’m higher than the others

But what you want from me
is not what I can give
And I will give it all away
I’ll say a prayer tonight
And release this lie
Cause all of me is all you want


The lights turn down
The music fades
I’m so exposed
the games I play
I can’t believe the rest of you aren’t standing

Chorus


Lyrics by Fred Butson; Music by Sevenglory

Behind the Song:
"Growing up I would go to church camp every year and gage my spiritual walk by comparing myself to others around me. As long as I was better than “him” or “her,” then I was doing okay. I think a lot of us do that, even now, but it’s completely off track. It’s not at all about reaching some spiritual level or achieving a certain amount of goodness. It’s about the condition of our heart and letting go of the lie that we have to be good enough for God." - Fred Butson (Sevenglory)
