Favorite Song (one of them at least...)

"I'm Not Alright" by Sanctus Real
Songwriters: Graalman, Mark; Hammitt, Matthew; Rohman, Chris; Stevens, Chris; Gartley, Dan; Mckelvey, Douglas Kaine;

If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of
Then cool is just how far we have to fall
And I am not immune, I only wanna be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall

Can I lose my need to impress?
If you want the truth, I need to confess

I'm not alright
I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through
It leads me to you, it leads me to you

Burn away the pride, bring me to my weakness
'Til everything I hide behind is gone
And when I'm open wide with nothing left to cling to
Only you are there to lead me on
'Cuz honestly, I'm not that strong

I'm not alright
I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through
It leads me to you, it leads me to you

And now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, closer to you
And now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, closer to you
And now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, closer to you
And now I'm moved, and now I'm moved, and now I'm moved

I'm not alright
I'm broken inside, broken inside
I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through
Leads me to you, leads me to you

I'm not alright
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
That's why I need you

The first time I heard this song, I was thinking "why would you say that?".  As I studied the words more I found strength in them.  Most of my life was spent thinking and saying "every thing is fine... But in reality I was broken.  What I have found thought is that in my brokenness I move closer to the only truth in my life that will never fail me, that is strength when I am weak.....Jesus Christ.


I'm.Not.Alright.And. That's.Why.I.Need.You.
