Lyrics
Do you have a heavy heart? 'Cause you try to play the part
Expressing concern about a burdened heart and a facade being maintained.
Of a life that you don't know and now it's scaring you?
Questioning familiarity with a life that causes fear.
'Cause you're saying all the right words but no one's ever heard
Speaking the right words but feeling unheard internally.
The voice that's crying out inside your heart
Describing an inner voice crying out, unacknowledged by others.
Saying please don't make me die for you, I've gotta make you see
Pleading not to sacrifice oneself without being understood.
That there's a part of me I never want to lose
Expressing a desire to preserve an essential part of oneself.
But if I have to die for you somehow let me see
If sacrificing oneself is necessary, seeking acknowledgment of deeper essence.
That you're more than words I need a glimpse of you
Desiring a genuine connection beyond mere words.
But it's Sunday church again and the habit to pretend
Highlighting a habitual pretense, especially in a religious context.
Is stronger than you knew, look how it's ruling you
Noting the strength of the habit to pretend and its influence.
But it's friends you try to blame, oh I've done it just the same
Blaming friends instead of facing personal responsibility.
'Cause it's easier than answering to Him
Choosing the easier path of blaming others rather than facing God.
You think that they're playing games
Perceiving others as playing games and changing behavior.
They leave and never act the same
Not wanting to be part of superficial behavior.
And you don't want a part of their show
Rejecting involvement in a shallow display.
Yes you think there's something more
Believing there's a deeper meaning beyond religious rituals.
But not inside these holy doors
Dismissing the idea of spirituality within the church.
Well what are you looking for?
Questioning the purpose and seeking something meaningful.
Yes we have to die for Him, that's the struggle that you see?
Acknowledging the need to sacrifice for a higher purpose.
'Cause it's the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Highlighting the difficulty in facing the necessity of sacrifice.
But no it's not impossible, He's been waiting so long for you
Assuring that the challenge is not insurmountable, emphasizing waiting.
But don't be afraid 'cause He knows the pain
Encouraging not to fear the pain, as it was endured for the listener.
Because He had to do it for you, for you
Stating that the sacrifice was made for the listener.
