Verso 1

I’m pretty good at making scenes
Out of the smallest things
But pretty bad at slowing down
And waiting patiently

Verso 2

I might look down and miss
The point that was
So plain to see
There was a time
I got it right but
That’s a memory

Pre Coro 1

Left to my own devices
I'd probably write the book
On things that
We shouldn't ever do
And paths we could’ve took

Pre Coro 2

I like to tow the line but
You let me off the hook
I’m working hard to settle in

Coro 1

But I did it again
I took a mile You gave an inch
I have no excuses or defense
I tried to do my best but
I always make a mess of
Everything
So I just ask

Coro 2

How many chances do I get
Before that grace cannot forget
Am I still easy to forgive
God it might take a while
Until You tame this wild
I'm doing well
But now and then
I'm still a problem child

Verso 3

I look around to find
A mess that I can make sometimes
I’m pretty sure
You give me hints
But I ignore the signs

Verso 4

I’ve been around here long
Enough to know
My wrong from right
But sometimes breaking
All the pieces is a part of life

Pre Coro 1

Left to my own devices
I'd probably write the book
On things that
We shouldn't ever do
And paths we could’ve took

Pre Coro 2

I like to tow the line but
You let me off the hook
I’m working hard to settle in

Coro 1

I did it again
I took a mile You gave an inch
I have no excuses or defense
I tried to do my best but
I always make a mess of
Everything
So I just ask

Coro 2

How many chances do I get
Before that grace cannot forget
Am I still easy to forgive
God it might take a while
Until You tame this wild
I'm doing well
But now and then
I'm still a problem child

Puente

I promise God
That I’ll do better
I'll take my life
And put it back together
I promise God
That I’m gonna do better

Coro 1

I did it again
I took a mile You gave an inch
I have no excuses or defense
I tried to do my best but
I always make a mess of
Everything
So I just ask

Coro 2

How many chances do I get
Before that grace cannot forget
Am I still easy to forgive
God it might take a while
Until You tame this wild
I'm doing well
But now and then
I'm still a problem child

Refrain

Oh I’m a problem child
Might be a problem child
Oh I know we’ll be fine
As long as I’m Your child
