Never Knew by The Rocket Summer

Mah.

Boyyyyy.

I just ran into a few someones today
Someones that I never really knew
And I used to think how I had them all so figured out

But no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for whats true

So I'm burning the thoughts of the things that I once said
Because you tore down the walls that the world has put inside my head
And I just get sick of things that we think, we think we know

And no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for whats true

So take me and save me and change me and then make me
And embrace me and then brave my heart for you
No, No, 'cause I can't go on without you
And it's time for something we never knew

And no, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
and now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head, for my heart, for whats true

And as they strolled along
My heart broke out in song
From all the things and the thoughts and assumptions that I had wrong
See now I'll be on my way to make this claim
I'll make it famous in everyway
I'll make it stay when I will say that...

No, none of it's true 'cause I never knew you
And now the truth of it is, is I wanna be like you
So hello, good friend, I wanna be next to you
For my head for my heart for whats true [x3].

I just get sick of the things that we think, we think we know.

We don't have it all together.

We don't know what we're doing.

But that's exactly why Jesus forgives us.

My thanks to God is for just revealing to me that I was in sin.

He showed me I didn't want that.

Like for real...

I did not want to keep on that path.

It would've gotten worse,

something worse was bound to happen.

Thanks for breaking me now.

It still hurts to see it,

to watch them ruin their lives right now.

But Lord,

You were concerned about me then.

So thanks for bringing me to the place where all I could do was run to You.

Your power is made perfect in my weakness.

You brought me closer to You through all of this.

Thanks Lord.

I'm still mad that I never really knew you,

but because of that,

I know God.

How To Save A Life by The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let's...

Let's be real with each other.

Let's quit lying to each other.

Let's tell each other the truth.

Let's start encouraging one another.

Let's quit acting like we have it all together.

Let's be family.

That's what we call ourselves, right?

From now on,

I promise to just be real.

I'll quit acting like I have it all together.

I won't put on a mask and try acting like I have it all together.

Because who really does?

I just really feel like I've lost some close people in the last several months.

It makes me cry every time I think about it.

I just want people to be truthful with me.

I don't want them to tell me they have it all figured out.

Quit acting.

I know my friends.

I can tell if you are hurting.

And the reason I know is because I am that person who is all like "Oh, I'm fine" when something isn't.

I don't want to act anymore.

If I ask how you are it's because I CARE about you and LOVE you.

I hope people just know how loved and worthy they are.

I just want people to be real. With God, themselves, or with the people around them.

Please talk to me if there's a problem. I want to be there for you.

I want to be different.

I want to embrace the love God has given me,

through Himself and through the people He's given me.

Please don't just use me, though.

I'm really tired of people wanting me one minute but deciding they don't the next.

It makes me feel really unworthy.

and I don't think you made me feel that way, but that's how I feel.

I just don't want people to tell me they love me but then decide they don't want me anymore.

It's just really hard to believe people sometimes.

But let's be different.

Let's be a real family, okay?

Because I need people in my life just as much as everyone else.

So yeah. I love you all. So much more than you know!!!!!

So quit acting like a crazy person and be for real with your life. Shoo!

Haha =]
