Broken Jesus

You come to me
Asking for truth
Wanting to hear
What I can do

You'll never see
What you've become
Refuse to change
Your father's son


And I can't tell you what you should do
It's not my place to run your life
All you can do is make your own mistakes
All I can do is hope you don't fall on the knife


I won't be your broken Jesus
I won't save you from yourself
I can't be your broken Jesus
I can't heal what you can't accept

I won't be your broken Jesus
I've been down that road before
I can't be your broken Jesus
You need to find the open door


If I could say
What's in my head
You'd swear me off
You'd want me dead


You never were that good and handling shame
But then again, neither was I
The difference is I learned to deal with my pain
And all you've done is become the one you despise


I won't be your broken Jesus
I won't save you from yourself
I can't be your broken Jesus
I can't heal what you won't accept

I won't be your broken Jesus
I've been down that road before
I can't be your broken Jesus
You need to find the open door


You and I have some history
And I'm not quite giving up
But I just don't know what to say anymore

You claim you care for others
You think you've grown up
You couldn't be farther from the truth


I won't be your broken Jesus
I won't save you from yourself
I can't be your broken Jesus
You can't heal what you can't accept

I won't be your broken Jesus
I've been down that road before
I can't be your broken Jesus
And I can't open that door
