Intro Everyday I wake and everything is broken Turning off my phone just to get out of bed Get home every evening and history's repeating Turning off my phone 'cause it's hurting my chest Hey-hey And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah But what can I do? I can't see the use in me crying If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see I can't sit and hope I can't just sit and pray that I can find a love when all I see is pain I'm falling to my knees And though I do believe I can't just preach, baby, preach Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh I can't just preach, baby, preach All I hear is voices, everybody's talkin' Nothing real is happenin' 'cause nothing is new Now in all this tragic, and I just feel sedated Why do I feel numb? Is that all I can do? Yeah And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah (uh) But I'm only human I can't see the use in me crying If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see I can't sit and hope I can't just sit and pray that I can find a love when all I see is pain I'm falling to my knees And though I do believe I can't just preach, baby, preach Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh I can't just preach, baby, preach And heaven knows I'm not helpless But what can I do? Yeah I can't see the use of me crying If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see I can't sit and hope I can't just sit and pray that I can find a love when all I see is pain I try to do the things that save it, I believe (I do believe) I can't just preach, baby, preach Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh I can't just preach, baby, preach Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh I can't just preach, baby, preach I'm falling to my knees And though I do believe I can't just preach, baby, preach
