By The Numb Grace of God

Thought I wasn't enough
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Found I wasn't so tough
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Laying on the bathroom floor
Don't know what you're expecting of me
We were living on a fault line
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
And I felt the fault was all mine
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Couldn't take it anymore
Every step that I take is another mistake to you

By the grace of God
(There was no other way)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I picked myself back up
(I knew I had to stay)
Become so tired, so much more aware
I put one foot in front of the other and I
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Looked in the mirror and decided to stay
Is be more like me and be less like you
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way

Can't you see that you're smothering me,
I know I am enough, possible to be loved
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
It was not about me
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Now I have to rise above
Has fallen apart right in front of you.
Let the universe call the bluff
Every step that I take is another mistake to you.
Yeah, the truth will set you free
And every second I waste is more than I can take.

By the grace of God
(There was no other way)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I picked myself back up
(I knew I had to stay)
Become so tired, so much more aware
I put one foot in front of the other and I
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Looked in the mirror and decided to stay
Is be more like me and be less like you
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way

And I know
I may end up failing too.
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you.

By the grace of God
(There was no other way)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I picked myself back up
(I knew I had to stay)
Become so tired, so much more aware
I put one foot in front of the other and I
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Looked in the mirror and decided to stay
Is be more like me and be less like you
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way

-A mashup of the wonderful words of Mike and Katy, that couldn't be more perfect
