lyrics
I know I'm a sad song
That doesn't mean I'm not happy
Does it mean I'm not happy?
But wouldn't you rather hear a song about a car crash
than a song about Jesus?
I know you would
And I know I only have three chords*
But that's barely less than you have in your whole life
And wouldn't you rather hear a song about breaking glass
than a song of salvation?
I know you would
I promise I'm with you
For as long as you need me too
And I won't stop thinking
I can save you
It takes time, time to heal the heartbeat,
time to wash the bruises, time to be alone
But wouldn't you rather feel your brother's hand in your hand
than the cold embrace of god's love?
I know you would
Now I'm a song for you
*this song actually has FOUR chords but when I wrote that lyric it had three and, to quote of of my favorite bands (ROAR), "I can't handle change."
