You told me you pray when
There's nobody looking
I no longer go to church
Just cuz both my parents took me
I spent three years choosing
First and thinking after
Then another two trying
To make forgiveness work faster
Keep all of the sadness
In your peripheral vision
We'll unload on each other
The next time that I visit
I'm just so confused as to
How you already want me
I keep trying to convince you
Some day I'll be worth loving
So I get home
And I'll call your phone to say
I've got some bad stuff in my system
But something better in my soul
I'm choosing to see how far I've come
When I see how far I've left to go
Oh the healing's coming slowly
And I've got twelve rounds left to fight
But I'm getting better at getting better
And a little closer to alright
I'm not good at knowing
Sixty years won't go by so soon
The only time I don't wonder what's next
Is when I hold you
I forget that years take time
And one day is still progress
You say you never fixed things by
Talking to God less
So I get home and I'll
Call your phone to say
I've got some bad stuff
In my system, but something
Better in my soul
I'm choosing to see how far I've come
When I see how far I've left to go
Oh the healing's coming slowly
And I've got twelve rounds left to fight
But I'm getting better at getting better
And a little closer to alright
I would sprint a marathon
On a broken leg
Before I'd go and tell a doctor
Something's wrong
Just ignore the pain til it's gone
Shift the blame
Could throw up on everything
Til I haven't run in so long
I've got some bad stuff
In my system, but something
Better in my soul
I'm choosing to see how far I've come
When I see how far I've left to go
Oh the healing's coming slowly
And I've got twelve rounds left to fight
But I'm getting better at getting better
And a little closer to alright
I'm getting better at getting better
And a little closer to alright
