I’ve tried my strength, I’ve tried my will
I tried to fix what I have killed
Every road I chose alone
Led me further from my home
I trusted scars, I trusted pride
I called my darkness “being alive”
But every step I thought was free
Just tightened chains around me
I’ve run out of lies to tell myself
I’ve run out of ways to pretend
I’ve reached the place where every man
Either breaks… or bends
Only God can help me now
When I can’t help myself
Only God can hear this cry
Buried deeper than my hell
I’ve tried everything I know
I’m empty, lost, and weak
Only God can help me now
I’m down on my knees
I spoke too loud, I walked too proud
I drowned the truth in every sound
I blamed the world, I cursed the pain
But never faced my own shame
I broke the hearts that stood by me
I burned the bridges meant to save
Now I’m standing in the wreck
Of choices I have made
No more excuses, no more fights
No more running from the light
I don’t ask to understand
Just help me stand
Only God can help me now
When my hands are tied
Only God can see the man
I bury deep inside
I’ve tried to rise, I’ve tried to cope
But I’ve lost every shred of hope
Only God can help me now
I have nothing left
If mercy still exists somewhere
If grace still breathes at all
I’m not asking for a crown
Just catch me when I fall
I don’t deserve another day
I know the debt I owe
But if You’re listening at all
Please don’t let me go
Only God can help me now
I finally admit
I am not the man I thought
I’m broken down to this
I lay my weapons on the ground
My pride, my fear, my pain
Only God can help me now
To walk a different way
No more running.
No more noise.
Only God…
And my voice.
