[Chorus]

(Yeah)

(Ooohh, yeah)

Sometimes I look out the window of my life

And I can see you

I can see you there

Yeah (yeah), oh

Sometimes I like to pretend like I'm not scared

Like I don't need you

I don't need you here, no (yeah)

Yeah


[Verse 1]

I don't deserve it

I ain't even worthy

Yet you give me water when I tell you that I'm thirsty

Still I take some things in life that really wanna hurt me

I say I'm livin' clean but I be livin' dirty

Back and forth swervin' like it don't mean nothin'

I'm married to my sin so I treat it like I love it

I kiss it and I hug it and don't put nothin' above it

You tell me to just let it go, I say that I ain't budgin'

I rather be a killer, be a sinner, be a liar

I make my own wings, yeah

That's how I'm flyin'

It's all about me, I don't see that I'm blinded

And one day I'ma wake up and wonder where all my time went

I just


[Chorus]

Sometimes I look out the window of my life

And I can see you

I can see you there

Yeah (yeah), oh

Sometimes I like to pretend like I'm not scared

Like I don't need you

I don't need you here, no (yeah)

Yeah


[Verse 2]

You gave me a gift, God, I ain't gon' waste it

I don't want the whole world, I just wanna taste it

I just want a little bit, you know, somethin' basic

What's wrong with doin' drugs, gettin' high, and gettin' wasted?

You tell me to face it, but I can't confront it

I look at my problems and turn around runnin'

I don't like what I'm becomin'

And even though I say that

Once I get away from it, I know I'ma stray back

Sick of wakin' up, wondering where my faith at

Told you I'm a liar, that's probably why I hate facts

Nevertheless, as I look out this window today and see your outstretched arms and tears on your face

I realize, God, really need your help

I ain't been livin' for you, Jesus, I been livin' for myself

Been caught up in the world and caught up in the sin

Time to unlock the door, kill my pride, and let you in


[Chorus]

Sometimes I look out the window of my life

And I can see you

I can see you there

Yeah (yeah), oh

Sometimes I like to pretend like I'm not scared

Like I don't need you

I don't need you here, no


[Outro]

And now I raise my hands for the Son of Man

You're all I neeeeed, yeah

And now I praise your name

Lord, take everything

You're all I seeeee, yeah

I'm not the same as I used to be

Yo, you wanna see a change, there's a change in me

I'm just tryna make you understand, basically

I'm not the same, I'm not the same

I'm not the same as I used to be

Yo, you wanna see a change, there's a change in me

I'm just tryna make you understand, basically

I'm not the same, I'm not the same

No, no, no

Sometimes I look out the window of my life

And I can see you

I can see you there

Yeah (yeah), oh
