I don't want life to go back to normal
I don't miss the way things were before
When I think about being around people concerned

I've spent too many nights caught up in guilt
Asking God to redeem what's inside of me
I don't miss the way things were before
I don't miss questioning my sanity
Feeling as if I'll never get on the wavelength of others
That I have to turn my head inside out
In order to be understood
I think there's benefit to others
Of my silence and guilt
Asking God to redeem what's inside of me
Wanting love from my family they don't readily give
Wanting to be accepted, while stifling down who I am
