Only You Can Fix Me

[Verse 1]
It's just me and this chair
Same questions
Same air
I've tried every mirror
Still can't see me clear
[Pre-Chorus]
I laid my plans like stones in a row
Watched them sink
Watched them go
I'm out of clever
Out of control
[Chorus]
So I'm having a conversation with God
'Cause You’re the only One who can fix me
I don't need fortune
I don't need praise
I just need a heart that isn't breaking
I'm talking into the dark of my room
But I feel You sitting here listening
I'm having a conversation with God
'Cause You're the only One who can fix me
[Verse 2]
I list all my failures
Like names on a page
You don't flinch at my history
You just sit in the ache
[Pre-Chorus]
I say
"I’m tired of my own advice"
You say
"Child
I paid that price"
I bring my ruins
You bring Your life
[Chorus]
So I'm having a conversation with God
'Cause You’re the only One who can fix me
I don't need answers tied up in bows
I just need the courage to keep breathing
I'm talking into the dark of my room
But I feel You holding what I'm grieving
I'm having a conversation with God
'Cause You're the only One who can fix me
[Bridge]
If You don't move the mountain
Then move me instead (oh)
If You don't calm the waters
Then sit on this bed
I don't need the thunder
Just Your steady breath
Just Your steady breath
[Chorus]
I'm having a conversation with God
'Cause You’re the only One who can fix me
Every broken piece
Every hidden bruise
You pick up gently like it's treasure
I'm talking into the dark of my room
But somehow the dark feels lighter
I'm having a conversation with God
And You're the only One who can fix me

folk, Soft acoustic ballad with intimate male vocals over warm fingerpicked guitar and a mournful cello line. Verses stay close-mic'd and hushed; chorus lifts with wider chords and a soaring, simple cello counter-melody. Subtle room reverb and gentle vocal doubles on the hook to deepen the confessional mood, ending on a fragile, almost-whispered reprise., acoustic, cello
