Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I have been unfaithful
I have been unworthy
I have been unrighteous
And I have been unmerciful
I have been unreachable
I have been unteachable
I have been unwilling
And I have been undesirable
And sometimes i have been unwise
I've been undone by what I'm unsure of
But because of youand all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved
I have been unbroken
I have been unmended
I have been uneasy
And I've been unapproachable
I've been unemotional
I've been unexceptional
I've been undecided
And I have been unqualified
Unaware-I have been unfair
I've been unfit for blessings from above
But even I can see
The sacrifice you made for me
To show aht I have never been unloved
It's because of you
And all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved
