Lyrics

[Intro]

Lord…

You see everything I can’t explain to nobody else.

So let me just talk to You for a minute.

[Hook]

They keep baitin’ me, draggin’ me into the fire,

I keep losin’ myself when I answer a liar.

I punish my soul for the weight of their sins,

But You know the truth, Lord, You know where it begins.

They put on a mask, pretend they care when they don’t,

I can feel it in my bones, though I smile like I won’t.

I’m just tryna be still, tryna live by Your name,

But they testin’ my spirit—Lord, I’m tired of the games.

[Verse 1]

God, it’s strange…

They ask about my pain with a twist in their voice,

Get the facts all wrong, like it’s some kind of choice.

They pretend to forget, like dementia on cue,

But I know they rehearsed every angle they use.



They show love when there’s witnesses standin’ around,

When the room gets quiet, not a trace to be found.

It’s reputation over heart, it’s a script they rehearse,

And I’m left with the scars when I take it the worst.



I know You see me, breakin’ myself in the dark,

Carryin’ guilt that was never my part.

Lord, why do I bleed for a crime I ain’t done?

I keep losin’ these battles, though the war’s never won.

[Hook]

They keep baitin’ me, draggin’ me into the fire,

I keep losin’ myself when I answer a liar.

I punish my soul for the weight of their sins,

But You know the truth, Lord, You know where it begins.

They put on a mask, pretend they care when they don’t,

I can feel it in my bones, though I smile like I won’t.

I’m just tryna be still, tryna live by Your name,

But they testin’ my spirit—Lord, I’m tired of the games.

[Verse 2]

And Lord…

They get mad when I don’t play the part that they wrote,

When I don’t bite the bait, I can see it in their throat.

Like frustration’s a crown that they wear on their face,

Cuz my silence don’t give ‘em the scene they embrace.



I’m beggin’ for patience, but I crack at the seams,

I punish myself more than they ever could dream.

I replay every word till it’s sharp in my chest,

Though I tried to walk faithful, tried to answer with rest.



Why do I hand ‘em my peace like it’s theirs to control?

Why do I let the false prophets get close to my soul?

I know vengeance ain’t mine, but it’s hard not to swing,

When I’m chained by the echoes of the chaos they bring.

[Bridge / Prayer]

So hold me steady, Lord, when they circle again,

When they smile with their daggers and they call themselves friends.

Give me strength not to fold, not to mirror their ways,

Let me breathe in Your truth when I’m lost in the haze.

[Hook/Outro]

They keep baitin’ me, draggin’ me into the fire,

I keep losin’ myself when I answer a liar.

I punish my soul for the weight of their sins,

But You know the truth, Lord, You know where it begins.

They put on a mask, pretend they care when they don’t,

I can feel it in my bones, though I smile like I won’t.

I’m just tryna be still, tryna live by Your name,

But they testin’ my spirit—Lord
