God, Know That Im Trying

I thirst for you
Like a flower thirsts for water
I need you
Like a child needs its father

Ive built up this wall
Right between me and you
I wont let it fall
I cant let you see through

Im ashamed of my life
I try to be perfect
Through this perilous strife
I ask for your respect

I know you love me
You made me this
To a tolerable degree
My body exists

You died for me
So why cant I please you?
I want you to see
I want to be true

God, I love you
