Misfit

I was just a kid a misfit wishing
Trying to figure out where it was that I fit in
Fell for the world that I lived in
Chased and pursued it
Cheating on the truth
And deep down I knew it
Slept with it’s pleasures
Cherishing its treasures
Measured my success
By comparing it to others
It left me no better
When it begged for my affection
When it fed me deceptions
And empty misconceptions
Comparison convinced me
That I could never be myself
Loneliness came to help
When there no one else was about
Lust told me she was love
But she could never be devout
Despair became a habit
And told me he knew how I felt
Doubt told me nobody could help
That I’m all alone and there’s just no way out
Then you
Jesus I fought you for years
Thought you’d only leave me empty
Like those that only brought me tears
But only you draw me near
And heal these broken bones
When I was the most hopeless I could be
You gave me hope and called me home
So I leave my past behind
I’m falling into you
