How can you look me in the face
A continuous smile as I drag you through trials
I know that I'm needing some change
I should be your disciple but I've become your idol

I'm tired of being your stumbling block
I know I need to stop, but I can't get myself to quit
I know I take more than I give
I've been this way since I was a kid
I know I'm damaged
Lord, give me the strength to manage this
I know I'm damaged
Lord, give me the strength to manage this

I feel like every day's the same
I'm dying in denial
My spirit needs revival
Why can't I learn from my mistakes?
My cynical desires are putting out your only fire

I'm tired of being your stumbling block
I know I need to stop, but I can't get myself to quit
I know I take more than I give
I've been this way since I was a kid
I know I'm damaged
Lord, give me the strength to manage this
Come break these chains
I'm shackled to them
I know I'm damaged
Lord, give me the strength to manage this
In Jesus' name I'm asking you

I'm tired of being your stumbling block
I know I need to stop, but I can't get myself to quit
I know I take more than I give
I've been this way since I was a kid
I know I'm damaged
Lord, give me the strength to manage this
