Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Even when I do my best
Feels like it doesn't matter
Feels like it doesn't matter
I've watched even my best intentions
Turn into disaster
Everything goes backwards
[PreChorus]
I've searched the rubble of all of my decisions
Learned to say sorry for the things I do
Though I don't want to
Some days, it feels so hard to get better
And I've never been as honest as I want to be
When I need help through
[Chorus]
Can anybody say a prayer?
Can anybody light a candle for somebody like me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's the least that God could do
For giving more than He could handle to somebody like me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Somebody like me
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Somebody like me
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I've watched all my rivers run dry
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Now, I know that's no way to get by
Can't keep on fixing
Can't keep on fixing
The things I haven't broken
Can't fix what's broken
[PreChorus]
I've searched the rubble of all of my decisions
Learned to say sorry for the things I do
Though I don't want to
Some days it feels so hard to get better
And I've never been as honest as I want to be
When I need help through
[Chorus]
Can anybody say a prayer?
Can anybody light a candle for somebody like me?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's the least that God could do
For giving more than He could handle to somebody like me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Somebody like me
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Somebody like me
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Somebody like me ain't perfect
Somebody like me needs care
In the moment I'm heavy and hurting
Can anybody meet me there?
[Outro]
Somebody like me ain't perfect
Somebody like me needs care
In the moment I'm heavy and hurting
Can anybody meet me there?
[Outro]
Somebody like me ain't perfect
Somebody like me needs care
In the moment I'm heavy and hurting
Can anybody meet me there?
[Outro]
Somebody like me ain't perfect
Somebody like me needs care
In the moment I'm heavy and hurting
Can anybody meet me there?
