You Were a Child Lyrics by Jennifer Jeffries

2024

[Verse 1]
You've known God since you were a child
Read your Bible, and you prayed every night
Sunday mornings were made for revival
So it still feels like you're gods child
[Verse 2]
And They go to church to find their worth
But you let numbers define yours
So you leave marks all on your arms
One for each flaw that you find
In God's desire in you
[Verse 3]
And they say we're not perfect, make us feel worthless
For all the things we've done and the wrongs we've done
They make it a game of wrong and rights
We're damned to hell if we don't play right
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
And the more strings that you pick, the more anxious you get
Are getting worn out
And those words that you sing are the way that you bleed
You're bleeding out
And you hate who you are even worse who you're not
So you write this song
And beautiful poetry so they'll see something lovely
Instead of broken things
