What Im Here For - Needtobreathe Lyrics

You're uncertain and you're unwell
Rags to riches but your heart can't tell
That don't mean you're going to hell
But that's how the story goes
You're like a phoenix rising from the ashes
But all you care about is death and taxes
Being famous takes too much practice
I wish it wasn't so
I spent my twenties in the lights of the disco
Trying to prove that I could be a hero
There were times when it felt like I was winning
But looking back, it only lasted a minute
I watched my friеnds take over the radio
All it did was drill a holе in my ego
I forgot what goodness was outside my window
Ain't that the way the story goes?
I don't need silver linings
I don't need so much more
I just need room to be wrong sometimes
That's all I'm hoping for
I feel like we could find it
If we knocked on heaven's door
I'd say: God, I'm only human
You'd say: That's what I'm here for
I spent my teens making out in the stairwell
Inside a church that went long 'cause the spirit fell
I was really trying to mean something to someone
But at the time I just thought that it was fun
I don't need silver linings
I don't need so much more
I just need room to be wrong sometimes
That's all I'm hoping for
I feel like we could find it
If we knocked on heaven's door
I'd say: God, I'm only human
You'd say: That's what I'm here for
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
I don't need silver linings
I don't need so much more
I just need room to be wrong sometimes
That's all I'm hoping for
