What's your greatest battle? Inside or outside stuff?



Sometimes I think
if I could hide myself away
from the world and all I see
I'd be a better person
if I could live somewhere
far away from here
ignore the things I hear
I could live this life perfectly

But it's not the outside things
 that keep me from you
it's my heart 
all the inside things
it's not the outside things
 that keep me from your love
it's my doubt
 all the inside things

I know a place
I could lay the blame 
for the pain I feel inside
though I know I shouldn't do it
and I'd like to say
 it's all another's fault
that I'm not living free
but it's not them 
it's all in me

It's not the outside things 
that keep me from you
it's my heart
all the inside things
it's not the outside things 
that keep me from your love
it's my doubt
all the inside things

The outside only mirrors what's inside of me
a true reflection of the grace I truly need
