In this song, Maddie Zahm questions her faith and wonders whether the thoughts are God’s voice or her own individual thoughts. Ultimately she is grateful that she listened to her own intuition. While promoting the song on TikTok, Maddie described it as “a letter to the church from an ex worship lead...
[Verse 1]
Be pretty and don't make it look like you're trying
Told to be Esther, when I felt like Goliath
When they were wrong, I could never keep quiet
I searched for the truth, and had faith that I'd find it
[Pre-Chorus]
Set myself on fire
Let myself be the liar
[Chorus]
All the Sundays 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 fеw just to leave the rеst?
I heard a voice inside my head, it disagreed
So if it wasn't God, well, thank God it was me
Thank God it was me
[Verse 2]
They called me a sinner when I was a saint
Hiding in her bedroom praying depression away
Killing herself for eternal life
And losing her interest to be a good wife
[Pre-Chorus]
Set myself on fire
I let them call me the liar
[Chorus]
All the Sundays 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 that wasn't God, if that wasn't God, it was me
Thank God it was me
[Bridge]
Me
Thank God it was me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
[Outro]
All the Sundays 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
