Bittersweet 3 lyrics

I love y’all
I mean it sincerely
Can come with the best of intentions
But people still fear me
It’s weary
Being a lone soul in a crowded world
An ego booster to the girls
A fantasy for the guys
Perfect love casts our fear
But I know they still scared
Cause they won’t let up and they keep up with the lies
Doomed to be that guy
That dish out love but never reciprocated
Hated for not giving in
To the sin that created
Haters of God
I don’t want the applause
I want to bring reformation
I don’t want to be caught
In the fallacy of a sensation
That makes me displease the Lord
Don’t know how to feel that I’ll still be given more

God’s been good to me
But people see him as cruel
It’s an odd burden to be blessed
Impervious to the hate
Nonchalant to the fame
The sin in the world got me stressed
My heart aches
And that’s an understatement
I don’t know what to make
Of the influence of Satan
I don’t get those who reject the goodness of love
I want to interrupt
The plans of those
Who want people to stay broke
Make them eat crow
By leading people to be selfless
Tired of the masses feeling helpless
I try to fathom what He envisioned for Adam
And I know it wasn’t a lifetime spent combatting
Malice, jealousy, anger, and depression
And to have the goodness of God be in question
But I’m just one man, I can only do so much
They say Jesus, to show disgust or frustration
Struck with grief that I avoid condemnation
At the expense of other’s salvation

Matthew 13: 11-17

11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
    though hearing, they do not hear or understand
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving
15 
For this people’s heart has become calloused;
    they hardly hear with their ears,
    and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a]
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it
