Save Me Lord

Dear Lord, I've been holding this pain too long

I gave everything, put my family first

Tried to be perfect, but it only made it worse

They say hurtful things day after day

I stay strong, but the moment I break, I'm the villain anyway

They never see the build-up, only my breaking point

Now defending myself feels like a betrayal, like I'm out of joint

Thabo, lead by example, they say

But nobody sees my tears when I'm away

Lord, only you can save this heart

I'm sinking deeper, falling apart

My heart's too heavy, I can't take no more

Lord, please save me, I'm breaking to the core

They don't see my pain, don't know how I feel

But only you, Lord, can make this real

I tried to be the perfect daughter, perfect sister too

But perfection's a prison when nobody cares about you

I'm hurting inside, breaking down each day

Trying to be strong when I just wanna fade away

How did defending myself turn me into the bad guy?

In a story they wrote, baby, tell me why

I'm tired, yeah, I'm drowning slow

But only you know, only you know

Lord, only you can save this heart

I'm sinking deeper, falling apart

My heart's too heavy, I can't take no more

Lord, please save me, I'm breaking to the core

They don't see my pain, don't know how I feel

But only you, Lord, can make this real

Dear Lord, save me now

I'm in your hands, I don't know how
