#CantJustPreach

Lyrics:

Every day I wake and,

Everything is broken,

Turning off my phone just to get out of bed.

Get home every evening,

And history’s repeating,

Turning off my phone cuz its hurting my chest.

And heaven knows I’m not helpless,

But what can I do?

I can’t see the use in me crying

If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can’t sit and hope, I

Can’t just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

Falling to my knees

Though I do believe

Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can’t just preach, baby, preach

All I hear is voices,

Everybody’s talking,

Nothing real is happening, cause nothing is new.

Now when all is tragic,

And I just feel sedated,

Why do I feel numb, Is that all I can do?

And heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah

But I’m only human.

Can’t see the use in me crying,

If I’m not even trying to make the change I want to see.

I can’t sit and hope, I

Can’t just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

Falling to my knees

Though I do believe

Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can’t just preach, baby, preach

And heaven knows I’m not helpless,

What can I do?

Can’t see the use in me crying

If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can’t sit and hope, I

Can’t just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

Falling to my knees

Though I do believe

Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can’t just preach, baby, preach

Falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can’t just preach, baby, preach.
