LYRICS
Be pretty and
Don’t make it look like you're tryin
Told to be Esther
When I felt like Goliath
When they were wrong
I could never keep quiet
I'd search for the truth
And had faith that I’d find it
Set myself on fire
let myself be the liar
All the Sunday’s I worried I’d disappoint my mom
Cause I never understood some types of love being wrong
Something inside me was always steering left
What father picks a few just to leave the rest
I heard a voice inside my head, they disagreed
So If it wasn’t God then thank God it was me
They called me a sinner
When I was a saint
Hiding in her bedroom
Praying depression away
Killin herself for eternal life
And losing her interests to be a good wife
Set myself on fire
I let them call me the liar
All the Sunday’s I worried I’d disappoint my mom
Cause I never understood a type of love being wrong
Something inside me was always steering left
What father picks a few just to leave the rest
I heard a voice inside my head, they disagreed
So If it wasn’t God if that wasn't God it was me
Thank God it was me
BRIDGE:
If it was God
Then I don’t have to worry
He’ll know why I left
Why I ran in a hurry
So either way I choose
I’m not wasting my life
Cause the voice in my head
Has always been right
All the Sunday’s I worried I’d disappoint my mom
Cause I never understood a type of love being wrong
Something inside me was always steering left
No father picks a few just to leave the rest

I can't even explain how much all your music hits home. No words. Just thank you for all of this.
I'm in fricken tears right now because this is my life. I love my church but sometimes it hurts knowing they will never fully accept me because I'm bisexual. Cant use my voice to worship God because it could make waves having someone who is openly "sinning" in public eye . Same with watching the kids. I instead greet and fix coffee. I wanted to die as a kid because I was raised believing something is wrong with me. Now I've fully accepted myself because I heard this voice when i was 12 telling me I'm not fixing you because you're not broken. I refuse to live in the closet anymore even if it makes things painful.
This might not mean much to you, but not only do I as a Christian accept you. But God does too. He loves you more than you can imagine just the way you are.
@@jaynazzar2539 it means the world to me, thank you ❤
Dude please, absolutely no human on this planet is perfect. Jesus literally hung out with thieves and people who did a lot of bad things. You’re not any less worthy of a human being, I love God but always remember but people who run churches have no right to judge as they are sinners too.
I heard a voice telling me that too 🥹 My goodness..& I’m a Christian so I’ve really struggled with that too as a bisexual female 🥺
Glad you listened to the voice in your head, Maddie, whether it was God or you.
I stumbled across your beautiful music by complete accident and I shall forever thank UA-cam for that. Cheers for sharing your wonderful gift.
Thank God for your voice! It’s brought much-needed comfort to my client- sweet girl fighting against being forced to choose herself or her Faith- just as each word in this song explains. A long-time ally I tip my hat to you and hope for good things to come to those brave enough to be themselves!!! ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful! The message is so important and means so much to me thank you!!!
your music has helped me with coping with so many different things and I relate soooo much
Wow!! This is absolutely stunning!!❤❤
ALGORITHM BUMP.
Love you.
It’s soo sad that people really grew up like this. I grew up in church and I’m glad that I did because we where open and talked about anything, like if you are seriously depressed you need to look for a doctor. I guess we knew that God put professionals doctors, psychiatrics, medicine here for a reason. And that was a part of life.
This life and God's plan isn't about one path and you choosing that or being doomed to torment. It is about you proving who you are to you (God already knows) and deciding for yourself what your heaven looks like (there are many mansions). To be honest your heaven is my hell but who cares? Those are just stupid labels on places we would or would not be comfortable and happy. Good, bad, evil, righteous, heaven, hell... are just labels that are a matter of perspective that have no objective understanding or description. The two things that really get under my skin are waste and dishonesty. People spending their lives trying to pretend to be who they are not (for whatever reason) and those forced to do it and waste the opportunities exclusive to them and their own brand of happiness. If God didn't agree he wouldn't have signed the permission slip and would have kept us all home.
