Sanctus Real's 'I'm Not Alright' is a raw confession of human brokenness and the need for God's grace. The song acknowledges that we often hide behind pride and a facade of being 'cool,' but true healing comes when we admit our weakness and turn to God. The lyrics express a desire to shed pretense and move closer to God, recognizing that our struggles lead us to Him. It's a heartfelt prayer of surrender, admitting that we are not strong on our own and need His presence to guide us.

If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of
Then "cool" is just how far we have to fall
I am not immune, I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall
Can I lose my need to impress?
If you want the truth I need to confess
[Chorus:]
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside
Broken inside
And all I go through, it leads me to you
It leads me to you
Burn away the pride
Bring me to my weakness
'Til everything I hide behind is gone
And when I'm open wide with nothing left to cling to
Only you are there to lead me on
'Cause honestly, I'm not that strong
[Chorus]
And I'll move
And I'll move
And I'll move
Closer to you [x3]
And I'll move
And I'll move
And I'll move
[Chorus:]
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside
Broken inside
I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through leads me to you
Leads me to you
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
That's why I need you
