The song acknowledges past failures and running away, but now feels a deep compassion and urgency. It is a cry for personal transformation and empathy, asking God to let the singer feel His heartache and be moved to action.

Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But my fear is it's too late
Won't go making no trouble
'cause I feel like I could break
All of those times I ran away
From all of those things I used to say
All of those plans I had
To give it all
And I feel like I could break
And I feel like I could break
Now it's more than I can take
And I feel like I could break
Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But I'm feeling your heartache
Your creation through your eyes
There is pain it's no mistake
Closer I get to you I see
Souls full of hurt, full of need
The closer I get I see less of me
And I feel like I could break
And, I feel like I could break
Lord, I know now it's getting late
Let my heart be broken by your heartache
And I feel like I could break
Now, it's more than I can take
'cause all of those times I ran away
From all of those things I used to say
And all of those pains I feel
Revealed to me
Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But I feel like ...
