In the morning when I rise
Get out of bed and rub my eyes
And wonder how I'm gonna make it through the day
Because the weeks go by like seconds
But the days go by like months
Before I get a chance to breathe
A new one has begun
Won't you soothe my troubled mind
So I can get some rest
'Cause I've given up pretending I'm the one who knows best
You said come to me with your burdens, if you're weary I will love you
And it's been weighing on my mind, it's been weighing on my mind
Dark midnight was my cry
I feel empty, don't know why
Won't you save me from the things I think I need
'Cause I'm just trying to make it through
With my sanity intact
Cause I've got front row tickets
But it feels like I'm sitting in the back
Won't you soothe my troubled mind
So I can get some rest
'Cause I've given up pretending I'm the one who knows best
You said come to me with your burdens, if you're weary I will love you
And it's been weighing on my mind, it's been weighing on my mind
Just about the break of day
I've got nothing more to say
'Cause the lies I tell myself are wearing thin
Because I'm nothing if not selfish
And I show no restraint
When I know I'm chief of sinners
But still I call myself a saint
Won't you soothe my troubled mind
So I can get some rest
'Cause I've given up pretending I'm the one who knows best
You said come to me with your burdens, if you're weary I will love you
And it's been weighing on my mind, it's been weighing on my mind
Oh, and when I come to die
Don't be sorry, please don't cry
Because I've killed myself a thousand times before
To be reborn a better man
I will die by my own hand
And I will crucify my mind to be at peace
Won't you soothe my troubled mind
So I can get some rest
'Cause I've given up pretending I'm the one who knows best
You said come to me with your burdens, if you're weary I will love you
And it's been weighing on my mind, it's been weighing on my mind
Give me Jesus, Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
But give me Jesus
