FLYLEAF LYRICS - Penholder

"Penholder"



I feel your eyes crawling over me

As though I am something more than me

But I don't have anything good enough to say

I did not make myself this way



I'll show you what he did but I wont take the credit

It's not mine anyway I just held the pen that day



[Chorus:]

I don't deserve this

This time right now

It's not something for which I can take the bow

I don't deserve this; it wasn't me

I can't take glory for something that I can't create

I don't deserve this



I know what perfection is like

I cannot stand before its might

And I'm so far from what you think that I must be I just drown myself in mercy



I'll show you what he did but I wont take the credit

It's not mine anyway I just held the pen that day



[Chorus]



I don't deserve this

This time right now is not something for which I can take the blame

I don't deserve this



And all the art that I supposedly create

Is simply a faded reflection of something he's already made



[Chorus]



I don't deserve this
