I just spent an hour cleaning my kitchen Killing time instead of writing songs I'm terrified that even if you listen I won't have anything to say at all I'm so sorry if I've ever written A line that sounded trite but just not true I promise it was never my intention To act like I know what you're going through See, I got a microphone, and I'm on the radio But that doesn't mean I know your hopes and fears So I can not assume I know what to sing for you I can only write the songs I need to hear I need to hear, I don't need all the answers But questions are a danger to the truth I need to hear that what I'm doing matters That I'm loved for who I am, not what I do
