Untitled (Not You) Lyrics Critique - Christian

by Becky
(Macomb, IL USA)

“Your tears, hold them back”,
“Don’t cry”, “Don’t act like that”,
“Your pain, I don’t see what you’re talking about”,

When it comes to looking back, that’s what you think,
Those words, are what you see,
So tell them, tell them,

Chorus:
“Take these back, these are yours,
No one is gonna tell me what to do,
And the only thing I know, the only thing I’ve held onto, My only Source of Hope,
It comes from God, not you.”

“Pretty picture, Perfect outside, No spot to be seen”,
That’s what everybody thinks,
But everybody seems to know nothing, it’s enough to make you go insane,
“Why can’t they see the mess, the haunting stain?”,

When it comes to looking back, that’s what you think,
Those words are, what you see,
So tell them, tell them,
Chorus:
“Take these back, these are yours,
No one is gonna tell me what to do,
And the only thing I know, the only thing I’ve held onto, My only Source of Hope,
It comes from God, not you.”

How dangerous the hurt inside, the bundling of fear,
Rolling down that so slick slope, that brought you here,
Freeze the frame now, make all your thoughts clear,
Let God make it all disappear,

Let Him take them back, Let Him show whose they are,
And let Him tell you what to do,
‘Cuz He’s the only One you know,
He’s your only Source of Hope
It comes from Him, not you.
