**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've been there

And I know how it feels to lose your way

And lose the real you once knew existed

And I know

I know how it feels to go astray and feel the pain

You feel like something's missing

**[Verse 1]**

I've been there

The enemy is wearing me thin

I called your name, God

Guess you didn't hear me again

I keep praying to you

Seems like you don't want me to win

Want me to lose, 'cause

I feel like you're offerin' sin

To me on a silver platter

So my mind it get lost

Not just a little bit, I'm seein' all that I want

So I take it, thinkin' that my pain will dissolve

Back to square one, now I ain't got nothin' at all

What should I do?

How should I react when

Everything I thought that wouldn't happen happened?

All my dreams out by the road where the trash is

Something's missing but I don't know how to grab it

I know that you see me, but I don't feel your presence

And somethin' in my heart is startin' to get infected

I'm startin' to fall apart

Headin' in a direction

Opposite of the stars

Oh yeah

And did I mention I've been there?

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've been there

And I know how it feels to lose your way

And lose the real you once knew existed

And I know

I know how it feels to go astray and feel the pain

You feel like something's missing

**[Verse 2]**

Satan's a liar

I hate the way he lures me in

Forget the Bible, I'd rather take a sip of this sin

And once I take a sip of it, I realize that I went

Over the edge, so I repent and then I do it again

Look at me go like the true buckram in my funeral

Black tie, black suit, now isn't it beautiful?

Uh huh

In other words, I'm tryna say that I'm dead

Don't know what's missin' but I'm pullin' hairs outta my head

Tryin' to grasp it

God what am I lackin'?

Whatever it is, I know I gotta have it

I'm fallin' harder than I ever imagine

I say I'm givin' my best, but I know that I haven't

It's tragic

You're knockin' at my door but it's locked

What's wrong with me, Doc?

I don't think this pain's gonna stop

Ain't you ever thought, Nathan, maybe it's not what's in your heart already

It's what you ain't got

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've been there

And I know how it feels to lose your way

And lose the real you once knew existed

And I know

I know how it feels to go astray and feel the pain

You feel like something's missing

**[Verse 3]**

Lord, forgive me

Please fill this hole in my heart

I got a life full of cracks, and I'm fallin' apart

Lord, forgive me

I need you to make me clean

So when they look, they see you and not just me

Lord, forgive me

Please fill this hole in my heart

I got a life full of cracks, and I'm fallin' apart

Lord, forgive me

I need you to make me clean

So when they look, they see you and not just me

Fill me up

I'm amped and I'm ready to go

Fill me up

I don't care if it's outta control

Fill me up

To the point that I'm so full that I'll be livin' and breathin' to get more

Fill me up

I'm amped and I'm ready to go

Fill me up

I don't care if it's outta control

Fill me up

To the point that I'm so full that I'll be livin' and breathin' to get more

**[Chorus]**

'Cause I've been there

And I know how it feels to lose your way

And lose the real you once knew existed

And I know

I know how it feels to go astray and feel the pain

You feel like something's missing

'Cause I've been there

And I know how it feels to lose your way

And lose the real you once knew existed

And I know

I know how it feels to go astray and feel the pain

You feel like something's missing

**[Outro]**
