I Can't Act

I can't act as if I've lived a perfect life

Cuz that just ain't right

I'm a screw-up

I have few talents to speak of

Just walking is a challenge at times

Don't pity what you can't see 

Don't agonize your mind just for me

I may be broken but I would be a fool 

To not look and see the light that shines through my shattered views

I can't act as if I haven't been blessed with every breath I catch

I can stand so, for now, that's enough for me

I can reach out and touch lives that I can't act as if I know

But I will search out until I connect with that heart no madder how cold

I can't act like everything will always be this okay

There might be a day

When I say

That I can't take it anymore

I might slam some doors 

Even if I'm one mistake away from a morgue

I can't act like God doesn't watch my every step

So whatever comes next

I can't act like I could possibly grasp the future 

But I am certain I won't have to act like someone I don't know 

I can act the way I'm meant to

I have some rules to follow but they're not hard to

God's got me

And I can't act as if that's not important
