[Verse 1] Say some things that I don’t mean I’m a wreck in the morning Guess I’m not easy to love I get lost in my head sometimes Stay out running all night Yeah, I think too much—I know And I hear You in the quiet Even when I’m running loud Like a voice I can’t outrun Calling through the doubt [Pre-Chorus] How You gonna love me... When I don’t love myself? [Chorus – HOOK] How You gonna love me like this? Right here in the middle of my mess I’m a wreck, I confess I don’t know how You see the best How You gonna love me like this? When I’m fighting my reflection? Did way too much—can’t fix Still You call it resurrection Feels strange—but it feels right When I finally let You in [Verse 2] I’m a mess, I’m obsessed With the edge of self-destruction Want the things I push away Every time—no interruption I’m a mess, yeah obsessed With my own malfunction Paranoia running circles Through my mind—no discussion But You step into the chaos You don’t flinch, You don’t leave Every crack, every fracture Still You’re chasing after me [Pre-Chorus] How You gonna love me.... Guess You never needed reasons [Chorus – HOOK] How You gonna love me like this? Right here in the middle of my mess I’m a wreck, I confess I don’t know how You see the best How You gonna love me like this? When I’m fighting my reflection? Did way too much—can’t fix Still You call it resurrection Feels strange—but it feels right When I finally let You in [Bridge – Switchfoot-style lift / reflective] Praying for my own protection Feels like nothing ever changed Every time I try to shake it I just fall back into the same But Your grace—it don’t get tired And Your love—it don’t retreat Even in my worst condition You’re still reaching out for me [Breakdown – stripped, almost spoken] What if the things that I do best Are the things that I regret? Every chance I get—oh no I been alone for a long time Moments come and go But You don’t...... [guitar solo] [Final Chorus – bigger, layered] How You gonna love me like this? Right here in the middle of my mess I’m a wreck, I confess Still You say I’m not finished yet How You gonna love me like this? When I’m lost in my reflection? I couldn’t earn Your grip Still You call it resurrection Feels strange—but it feels right When I finally let You in Yeah it hurts—but it heals When Your mercy pulls me in... [outro]
