Preach

Lyrics

Every day I wake and
 Everything is broken
 Turning off my phone just to get out of bed
 Get home every evening
 And history's repeating
 Turning off my phone cuz it's hurting my chest
 And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah
 But what can I do?
 I can't see the use in me crying
 If I'm not even trying to
 Make the change I wanna see
 I can't sit and hope, I
 Can't just sit and pray, that
 I can find a love, when
 All I see is pain
 Falling to my knees
 And though I do believe
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 (Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 All I hear is voices
 Everybody's talking
 Nothing real is happening,
 'Cause nothing is new
 Now when all is tragic
 And I just feel sedated
 Why do I feel numb?
 Is that all I can do?
 Yeah
 And heaven knows
 I'm not helpless, yeah
 But I'm only human
 I can't see the use in me crying
 If I'm not even trying to
 Make the change I wanna see
 I can't sit and hope, I
 Can't just sit and pray, that
 I can find a love, when
 All I see is pain
 I'm falling to my knees
 And though I do believe
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 (Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 And heaven knows I'm not helpless
 But what can I do?
 Can't see the use in me crying
 If I'm not even trying to
 Make the change I wanna see
 I can't sit and hope, I
 Can't just sit and pray, that
 I can find a love, when
 All I see is pain
 I try to do the things, I
 Say that I believe
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 (Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 (Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 Falling to my knees
 And though I do believe
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 
 Every day I wake and
 Everything is broken
 Turning off my phone just to get out of bed
 Get home every evening
 And history's repeating
 Turning off my phone cuz it's hurting my chest
 And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah
 But what can I do?
 I can't see the use in me crying
 If I'm not even trying to
 Make the change I wanna see
 I can't sit and hope, I
 Can't just sit and pray, that
 I can find a love, when
 All I see is pain
 Falling to my knees
 And though I do believe
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 (Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
 I can't just preach, baby, preach
 All I hear is voices
 Everybody's talking
 Nothing real is happening,
 'Cause nothing is new
