"I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be. So, I guess I'm on my way home."


I do not believe I am unlovable
I think I am unsaveable
there is a difference -
You can love me, You can reach for me,
but you will not catch me.
I will fall through your outstretched fingers like sand
and leave you empty
I do not believe I am unlovable.

I do not believe I am undeserving
I think I am unrepairable
there is a difference -
You can forgive me, You can guide me,
but you will lose me.
I will take a wrong turn along the way
and never find my way back
I do not believe I am undeserving.

I do not believe I am unchangeable
I think I am unforgiveable
there is a difference -
You can fix me, You can help me
but you will not forgive me.
I will wound you in ways you may never understand
and you will drive me away
I do not believe I am unchangeable.

No, you can love me if you wish.
But you cannot save me
