remind me who i am to you - nathan r. allen lyrics

[verse 1]
and i fear that everyone i see
has some unspoken grudge held against me
and i would not blame anyone
who’d challenge me with fist and clubs
cause i feel remorse after i sneeze
if i need forgiveness from you, tell me
if there’s something you don’t like, don’t conceal these
hidden thoughts, they only intensify the consuming guilt
that takes its root in me
if you say one word about me, i’ll be boxing stance with fists
i won’t sit for stains given by gaveled adjectives
if you’re not here to flatter me then please withhold your words
cause i will take that quote and use it as the end-all of my worth
i’m singing:
oh god, save me from this fear that plagues me endlessly
remind me who i am to you

[verse 2]
and i know you look at me with disappointment in your face
as you say “nate, any sign you could want i already gave
this is not how you should behave!”
then you list off every single offense like i don’t already know
well, i’m constantly thinking what you think of me
they say you forgive, but reward those who please
and i want to be true, help me amount to
the potential you fashioned in days past
do you believe that i believe in you? and am i good enough?
am i doing all that i can? do you prefer your other sons?
i want to hear your voice cause
in my head, it never sounds joyous
i’m so pr-ne to living up to less than what i’m made
i have scorned the gifts that are the meaning of my name
but dust is all i’ve ever been and you still know my frame
so i guess i’m just what you’d expect and you bestow more grace, i’m singing:
oh god, when i’m preoccupied by what i’m doing wrong
remind me who i am to you

[coda]
hold me up (repeated)

remind me who i am to you
