Lyrics
I was a fool every time I wouldn't stick up for you
I regret not defending you in the past.
It's complicated
The situation is complex and difficult to understand.
And I was uncool when I punched that kid after Sunday school
I behaved poorly when I physically confronted someone after Sunday school.
But you don't talk to a girl like that and not end up in the hospital
Confronting a girl disrespectfully leads to consequences like ending up in the hospital.
Lord hear my prayer, see my side

I only care about being understood
The speaker values being understood more than being proven right.
I don't care about being right
The speaker prioritizes understanding over being correct.
Lord hear my prayer, see my side
Reiteration of the plea for understanding and acknowledgment.
I only care about being understood
Emphasizing the importance of being understood over being right.
I don't care about being right
The speaker reiterates their focus on understanding rather than being right.
Oh, but what do I know

I'm always taking the long way home

Oh, remind me to breathe
A request for a reminder to stay calm in challenging situations.
I still believe
Despite challenges, the speaker maintains their belief in something.
But you're not making it easy
Acknowledging the difficulty others present in maintaining beliefs.
Going out on a limb
Taking a risk or making a bold move.
How will you forgive me when I can't forgive them?
The challenge of seeking forgiveness when the speaker struggles to forgive others.
It's a contradiction
Highlighting the internal conflict or paradox within the speaker.
But I gotta admit that it's making me sick
The contradiction is causing emotional discomfort for the speaker.
I wanna pick up a brick and throw
Expressing frustration and a desire to retaliate against the source of discomfort.
Oh, please Jesus pick up your guitar
A plea for divine intervention or inspiration to confront challenges.
Can't you see what they've done to you?
Calling attention to the harm done to a symbolic figure, possibly Jesus.
