“Grateful” Lyrics

Intro:

I wanna be grateful

I wanna be, wanna be

I wanna be grateful

I gotta be, gotta be

I wanna be grateful

I wanna be, wanna be

I wanna be grateful

Chorus:

Telling the things I don’t show

Lifting the weight on my soul

Praying that something would change

Hoping I get you to know

Cuz I know (yea)

I know you don’t (aye)

Verse 1:

You don’t think i’m grateful of things I own

I know you paid your own

I won’t just let it go

I know you did me wrong

And while you don’t agree

I think you oughta see

I tried to let it free

I cried while on your knees

All I wanted to do was love you

Now i’m asking you “is love true?”

The things I go through to touch you

I swear that the truth’s beyond you

I guess there’s some things that I can’t control

I moved up to Tally, i’m on my own

Still reading the words you left on a note

I want some more things that you gotta know, oh yea

Chorus:

Telling the things I don’t show

Lifting the weight on my soul

Praying that something would change

Hoping I get you to know

Cuz I know

I know you don’t

You don't , you don’t think i’m grateful

Post-Chorus:

I wanna be grateful (woah)

I wanna be, wanna be (woah)

I wanna be grateful (woah)

I gotta be, gotta be (I wanna be grateful)

I wanna be grateful (wanna be, wanna be)

I wanna be, wanna be (I gotta be grateful)

I wanna be, wanna be

I wanna be…

Verse 2:

Help me understand it

I know I can’t be hard to manage

I try not to take things for granted

I hope you ain’t mean to damage cuz

I never felt the love you know

Felt like I was on hold you know

We never got that close you know

You had me feeling slow you know

You hurt me, you hurt me for several years

The curtain, the curtain holds all my tears

I went to crying just asking God

Why we can’t connect just like all my peers

I already saw, now i’m tryna see

I teeter and totter oh woe is me

I’m missing the feeling of feeling things

I question what Love is supposed to be, oh

Chorus:

Telling the things I don’t show

Lifting the weight on my soul

Praying that something would change

Hoping I get you to know

Cuz I know (yea)

I know you don’t

You don't , you don’t think i’m grateful

Post-Chorus:

I wanna be grateful (woah)

I wanna be, wanna be (woah)

I wanna be grateful (woah)

I gotta be, gotta be (I wanna be grateful)

I wanna be grateful (wanna be, wanna be)

I wanna be, wanna be (I gotta be grateful)

I wanna be, wanna be

I wanna be grateful

Outro:

Hi son, its your mother

I was calling because I wanted to hear your voice

But evidently you don’t want to hear mine

I love you, bye.
