[Intro]
  

[Verse 1]
             
Taught me to g


o, long way fr

om home
              
Some place whe

           
re I′m not com

     
fortable
           
Out on the wat

er, I close my

 eyes
            
And cast a lin

          
e to the unkno

wn
              
But I've broke

  
n more than ju

st a window
            
No foundation 

       
on my floor
              
I′m shook to m

  
y core, I felt

 a feeling
            
Wondering if t

             
here's somethi

   
ng more

[Pre-chorus]
            
But I lost my 

            
dad to an earl

  
y grave
             
Then I took th

             
ree steps and 

        
I lost my way 

(ooh)

[Chorus]
            
No, I don't wa

              
nna believe it

        
, how I couldn

′t save myself
             
I took my prec

              
onceptions and

   
 I left them o

n the shelf
             
Because they s

             
aid that I nee

              
d Jesus, or I′

   
ll end up down

 in hell
             
But I just can

              
't believe it 

       
′til I see it 

for myself
              
And I'll say, 

    
"Hallelujah"
             
I′ve come so f

        
ar from open a

rms
   
Hallelujah
            
Still, I've gr

own so far fro

m where I star

ted (ooh)



[Verse 2]
           
Now looking ba

ck, rose-color

ed glass
            
I wanna see a 

      
silver lining
              
Ghosts from my


 past don′t ma

ke it easy
            
But believe me

           
, I'm still tr

ying

[Pre-chorus]

No, no, no (oo

h)

[Chorus]
            
No, I don't wa

              
nna believe it

        
, how I couldn

′t save myself

 (ah)
             
I took my prec

              
onceptions and

  
 I left them o

n the shelf (o

oh)
             
Because they s

             
aid that I nee

ll end up down

 in hell
             
But I just can

              
't believe it 

     
′til I see it 

for myself
              
And I'll say, 

    
"Hallelujah"
             
I′ve come so f

        
ar, from open 

arms
   
Hallelujah
             
Still, I've gr

[Bridge]
            
But I lost my 

            
friend to an e

     
arly grave
             
′Cause he lost

             
 his mind and 

         
I came too lat

e
           
I lost my dad 

           
to an early gr

ave
             
Then I took th

             
ree steps and 

      
I lost my way

[Chorus]
            
No, I don't wa

              
nna believe it

        
, how I couldn

't save myself
             
I took my prec

              
onceptions and

   
 I left them o

n the shelf (l

eft them on th

e shelf)
             
Because they s

             
aid that I nee

in hell (oh, n

But I just can

'til I see it

And I′ll say,
