Chris Renzema -"17"
Here I am confessing again
I know I’ve let You down
I’ve said it a thousand times
Never again starts now
I’ve slept through so many days
I’ve wasted so much time
Can’t solve it with a song
Can’t fix it with a rhyme
So I’ll try
To be honest with myself again
But I can feel just so uncomfortable in my skin
Know you told me that you loved me
But I don’t remember when
Oh oh
Feel like I was so much wiser
When I was seventeen
Saw the world in just two shades
Didn’t stand in the in-between
If the man I was back then
Saw who I am right now
I wonder if he’d be disappointed
In how he would turn out
So I’ll try
To be honest with myself again
But I can feel just so uncomfortable in my skin
Know you told me that you loved me
But I don’t remember when
Oh oh
But I hear you say
Child, stop listening to yourself so much
I have made you more than worthy of my love
You are fearfully and wonderfully made
And that’s enough
Oh oh
Oh child, if you could see yourself the way that I do
You’d see I made you in my image
And my works not through
Oh, we’ll dance on this disappointment
In a world made new
Oh oh
I know your heart is tired
The floods and the fire
Can make this all seem too far gone
Oh I know your heart is broken
But the last word’s not spoken
THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
