The Problem

Lyrics:
Here I go again, trying to fill my life up with anything other than You.
Why do I try so hard, so that my time is wasted, spent on foolish pursuits?
I know they're not all bad, but the peace I had is slipping through my fingers.
Like a mockingbird I can't help chasing the glitter in the dust.

And the problem, it's not knowing what to do - it's doing what I already know to do.
...don't ever leave me.

I guess I'm a people-pleaser, I've gotta help them 'cause they asked me to.
Why do I think that I'm the center, that their happiness depends on me?
I know it's not all bad, but the rest I had is sleeping on the floor now.
Like a rusted gate that hasn't been oiled, the traffic keeps me squeaking on my hinges.

And the problem, it's not knowing what to do - it's doing what I already know to do.
...don't ever leave me.

Since I've been in control, I've never been less free.
Enter this pitiful life and change it, Lord!
Don't ever leave... don't ever leave me.
