I Shouldn’t Even Be Here

Spent some time not long ago

as someone I didn’t know

As someone who’d failed to live

and became a ghost

 

Spent a lot of my time

in a lot of pain

Didn’t remember you

was shelter from the rain

 

Didn’t remember

Your love could set me free

‘til I found myself

down on my knees

 

I shouldn’t even be here

I shouldn’t even be here no

I shouldn’t even be here

I shouldn’t even be here no, no, no

 

The questions in my mind

Where am I now?

Where’s the clerk who runs

the lost and found?

 

Am I still welcome?

Can I show my face?

Am I still worthy

of your love and grace?

 

Didn’t remember

Your love could set me free

‘til I found myself

down on my knees

 

I shouldn’t even be here

I shouldn’t even be here no

I shouldn’t even be here

I shouldn’t even be here no, no, no

 

I lost my sight

I need you to guide

me back to the light

before I lose my mind

I shouldn’t even be here

I shouldn’t even be here no

I shouldn’t even be here

I shouldn’t even be here no, no, no
