lyrics

I don't belong here
These people are good
I can't be like them
I wish that I could

Can't pretend anymore
Its me that I'm living for

But they said You said
I am the blood in your veins
I knew you before you had a name
I am the breath in your lungs
I wouldn't trade you for anyone

I've been trying to be
Something that I'm not
I can't measure up
To this ruler of God

I'm too short for this ride
Though I reach for the sky

But I know I read
I am the blood in your veins
I knew you before you had a name
I am the breath in your lungs
I wouldn't trade you for anyone

Maybe I'm defective
I can't live like I want to live

I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't
I can't be the man you need me to be

Spilled the blood on my hands
Wipe it off on my pants
I've got the stomach for sin
But just can't swallow salvation

The story rings in my ears
But it never rang true
Don't want to hear it from them
I want to hear it from You

I am the blood in your veins
I knew you before you had a name
I am the breath in your lungs
I wouldn't trade you for anyone
