'In The Lonely Hour' turns 10 years old! Listen to the anniversary version now: https://samsmith.world/ITLH10ID 🤍 Lyrics: They never knew my struggle Rose above the rubble Rather live inside their bubble Than go through the trouble Of having their double double vision corrected They just neglect it and I’ve been thinking lately Will the Devil take me Or will God protect me I know I ain’t perfect But you should respect me They don’t want me happy They don’t wanna let me live I’m young and I’m foolish I make bad decisions I block out the news Turn my back on religion Don’t have no degree I’m somewhat naïve I have made it this far on my own But lately that shit ain’t been getting me higher I lift up my head and the world is on fire There’s dread in my heart And fear in my bones I just don’t know what to say Maybe I’ll pray Pray Maybe I’ll pray I have never believed in you, no But I’m gonna pray I am me I’m a man I’m a sinner But understand Aren’t we all So when it comes to passing judgements I don’t think that you’re the one to make the call Heaven want to cast me out for being me I know theres others like me there to break the fall I know you hater Motherfuckers just can’t relate at If I’m the first one to the line that’s fine I’ll take it all But Logic he gon’ let ‘em know I ain’t perfect But I’m worth it I’m alive I deserve it I’ve been praying I ain’t playing I don’t think you hear the words that I’m saying I don’t think you know the weight on my shoulders That gets heavier as I get older Calling anybody Calling anybody Can you hear me I pray that you hear me I pray that you hear me Maybe I’ll pray Pray Maybe I’ll pray I’ve never believed in you, no But I’m gonna Won’t you call me Can we have a one on one please Let’s talk about freedom Everyone prays in the end Everyone prays in the end Oh, won’t you call me Can we have a one on one please Let’s talk about freedom Everyone prays in the end Everyone prays in the end
