Preach

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Everyday 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 'cause it's 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 tryna 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

I'm falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

I can't just preach, baby, preach

All I hear is voices, everybody's talking

Nothing real is happening

'Cause nothing is new now in all this tragic

And I just feel sedated

Why do I feel numb?

Is that all I can do?

And heaven knows I'm not helpless

But I'm only human

I can't see the use in me crying

If I'm not even tryna 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

I'm falling to my knees

And though I do believe (though I do believe)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

I can't just preach, baby, preach

And heaven knows I'm not helpless

But what can I do?

I can't see the use of me crying

If I'm not even tryna 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

I try to do the things that save it, I believe (I do believe)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

I can't just preach, baby, preach

I can't just preach, baby, preach

I'm falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach
