YOU KNOW ME

INTRO
17 years of running away
17 years of losing my faith
17 years of feeling alone
17 years of not having a place to call home
17 years

VERSE 1
My whole life ive been running away
My whole life ive been saying “yeah i'm okay”
People see the outside but dont know the demons i face
17 years none of them different but all of them are the same

PRE CHORUS
17 years of pain
17 years of loss
Nothing to gain
Everything has been lost
Ohh no no no
Nothing to gain

CHORUS
But Lord, You KNOW ME
You hold me
You say i'm free
I'm no longer locked in this captivity
Ohh
Lord you KNOW ME
Ohh Lord you HOLD ME
You say i'm chosen for more than to just die in this place
Oohh Lord
YOU KNOW ME

VERSE 2
Growing up i'm excited about
But i'm always going to have my doubts
17 years of running away but never reaching out
17 years of screaming for help
17 years of living in hell
17 years of drugs
17 years of loss
17 years of lost hug
17 years of pain paying the cost

PRE CHORUS
17 years of pain
17 years of loss
Nothing to gain
Ohh no no no
Nothing to gain

CHORUS
But Lord, You KNOW ME
You hold me
You say i'm free
I'm no longer locked in this captivity
Ohh
Lord you KNOW ME
Ohh Lord you HOLD ME
You say i'm chosen for me than to just die in this place
Oohh Lord
YOU KNOW ME

VERSE 3
(youll never be enough)
I'm more than you think i am
(your a coward of a man)
I'm better than any man
(your lost and alone)
NO I HAVE A HOME
(your fake)
I'M REAL
(your broken)
NO I'M TRYING TO HEAL

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
(fade out)

PRE CHORUS
17 years of pain
17 years of loss
Nothing to gain
Ohh no no no
Nothing to gain

SLOW PIANO COMES BACK IN

CHORUS
But Lord, You KNOW ME
You hold me
You say i'm free
I'm no longer locked in this captivity
Ohh
Lord you KNOW ME
Ohh Lord you HOLD ME
You say i'm chosen for me than to just die in this place
Oohh Lord
YOU KNOW ME
