Nothing Left To Lose

Verse 1

Yeah yeah nothing left to lose It's already been lost yeah

Went away to college walked away in two years Thought my faith was

solid but I had some true fears Got some old knowledge but I'm

shedding new tears Nothing in my wallet can't afford these two beers I'm

drinking while I'm thinking bout the way it used to be Changing my perspective from the way I

used to see Friends say they'll stay but they're not really used to me

Being myself isn't as easy as it seems So I

just put on a mask Dodging all their questions every single time they

ask Hide my pain with a laugh

Drawing back the curtain you can see it's just an act Look myself in the eye

trying to remember What was life like way back before December Coldest winter

I've known can this sinner come home Proud to go living

always out on my own Like I'm switching time zones

always losing sleep See myself in the mirror am I

losing me Choosing to be free used to be an option Please check my doctrine

cause now I live in bondage If I'm being honest I

Verse 2

can't escape the scrutiny They nitpick my life refuse to see the truth in me So I

keep singing though the people don't listen They say I

shine bright but this life don't glisten Moments pass by like the sand in the hourglass

Life changes quick goes from sweet to sour fast Earthly kings fall

how long does their power last Once that rose withers

can't get that flower back Praying so much that my voice feeling hoarse

Never thought I'd have to make the choice of divorce It was never

what I wanted just to set the record I

loved her without limits nothing you can measure Our enemy is real

yes he's so clever You know what I'm saying so I'll save the lecture

Had passive reactions to what needed attention Too many excuses that I

refuse to mention Never thought I

would bounce back from this tragedy Every obstacle they were sent here to challenge

me Road is so long I'm walking with calloused feet Fighting hard to care

I'm battling apathy Voices in my life say I'm nothing and they laugh at me

Feeling unplugged like I'm losing my battery But why am I

Verse 3

resilient Honest answer I have to be God's weaving every thread into a beautiful

tapestry We try to solve our problems without reading the textbook You could

ask the teacher no matter how the test looks But we skip the class

where the pain brings the lesson But if you don't know the curse

first how you see the blessing It doesn't make sense at this point on the timeline But I'm

moving forward tell the world that I'm fine Puzzle pieces fit make the picture

complete Look at this hope I

carry fear doesn't compete I

will never retreat pressing into his presence Time with God's such a gift

man I pray you get it He wants to meet with us you

can't afford to forget it If that's all you remember man that's always

been the message This world will let you down no doubt about it But God

goes before you when you're surrounded Keep your roots in the truth

that's how you stay grounded It's not just a religion if you can't

live without it
