“Losing” by Tenth Avenue North is about trying to act correctly when people around you sin continuously. It’s framed as a prayer to God, asking him to forgive those people, but acknowledging that we have to forgive each other. Similar to the previous song on the album, “Worn”, this song deals with b...
[Verse 1]
I can't believe what she said
I can't believe what he did
Oh, don't they know it's wrong, yeah?
Don't they know it's wrong, yeah?
Maybe there's something I missed
But how could they treat me like this?
It's wearing out my heart
The way they disregard
[Pre-Chorus]
This is love, this is hate
We all have a choice to make
[Chorus]
Oh, Father won't You forgive them?
They don't know what they've been doin' (oh no)
Oh, Father, give me grace to forgive them
Cause I feel like the one losin'
[Verse 2]
Well it's only the dead that can live
But still I wrestle with this
To lose the pain that's mine
Seventy times seven times
Cause Lord it doesn't feel right
For me to turn a blind eye
Though I guess it's not that much
When I think of what You've done
[Pre-Chorus]
This is love, this is hate
We all have a choice to make
[Chorus]
Oh, Father won't You forgive them?
They don't know what they've been doin' (oh no)
Oh, Father, give me grace to forgive them
Cause I feel like the one losin'
[Bridge]
Why do we think that hate's gonna change their heart?
We're up in arms over wars that don't need to be fought
But pride won't let us lay our weapons on the ground
We build our bridges up but just to burn them down
We think pain is owed apologies and then it'll stop
But truth be told it doesn't matter if they're sorry or not
Freedom comes when we surrender to the sound of mercy and Your grace, Father, send Your angels down
[Chorus]
Oh, Father won't You forgive them?
They don't know what they've been doin' (oh no)
Oh, Father, give me grace to forgive them
Cause I feel like the one losin'
(2x)
