Get It Right.

What have I done?
I wish I could run,
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right, to get it right?

Can I start again, with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face mistakes,
But if I get stronger and wiser, I'll get through this

What can you do when you're good isn't good enough?
And all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?

So I throw up my fists, throw a punch in the air,
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair!
Yeah, I'll send down a wish and I'll send up a prayer
And then finally someone will see how much I care

What can you do when you're good isn't good enough?
And all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?


I don't know what you're going through.  I know what it feels like to have your world cave in.  To have your faith seem so small.  To feel so broken and on the verge of tears at every moment.  I know what it feels like to want to die.  To wish you could change everything about yourself because you'll never be good enough.  To feel like you will never get it right.  But those feelings are a lie.  You are good enough.   You are an amazing individual.  You might have made a few mistakes, but you can always turn around.  God always takes you back. You have God with you every step of the way, for the moments when it won't stop raining.   So don't think you can't ever accomplish anything, because you can!
