God Knows I Tried
Words and music by Ray Boltz
When they said I was a sinner
I was struggling with my youth
And with the hope that God could change me
I believed it was the truth
And I spent my whole life trying
To be just what they said I should
But on the inside I was dying
'Cause I never really could
God knows I tried
God knows all the pain I kept inside
He's seen every tear I ever cried
I was so good at pretending
Just like an actor on the stage
But in the end nobody knew me
Only the roles that I portrayed
And I would rather have you hate me
Knowing who I really am
Than to try and make you love me
Being something that I can't
Chorus
After all these years of living
I've begun to understand
I can try to be like someone else
But it wont change
No it wont change
Who I am
