Swept Away
[First Verse]
So many questions
And not enough answers
Got any suggestions?
‘Cause I ain’t got a clue
So many choices
But how can I think straight
With all of these voices?
There’s not much I can do
But then I remember…
[Chorus]
It’s not me it’s You
Without You what can I do?
So I get on my knees and pray
And my confusion is swept away
[Second Verse]
Parents are fighting
I hear constant screaming
But there’s no point in hiding
‘Cause our walls are so think
She comes in my room
And starts in about Dad
On the inside I’m fuming
On the outside I grin
But then I remember…
[Chorus]
It’s not me it’s You
Without You what can I do?
So I get on my knees and pray
And my frustration is swept away
[Third Verse]
I walk into class
And the whispers begin
Their looks cut me like glass
But I don’t say a word
I sit in my seat
And I stare at the floor
I keep my mouth shut
But I wanna be heard
[Chorus]
But then I remember…
It’s not me it’s You
Without You what can I do?
So I get on my knees and pray
And my insecurity is swept away
[Fourth Verse]
I get off the bus
It’s been a long ride home
I know that thanks to this loss
My chance for college is slim
My dad is out cold
Got the house to myself
The pills are spread on my bed
And I just want to give in
But then I remember…
[Chorus]
It’s not me it’s You
Without You what can I do?
So I get on my knees and pray
And my depression is swept away
God without Your love it’s true
There would be nothing I could do
