Penholder Lyrics

Flyleaf - Penholder

I hear 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 won't take the credit
It's not mine, anyway
I just held the pen that day

And I don't deserve this
This time right now
It's not something for which
I can take the bow

And I don't deserve this
It wasn't me
I can't take glory for something
That I can't be
I don't deserve this

I know what perfection is like
I can not stand before it's 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 won't take the credit
It's not mine, anyway
I just held the pen that day

And I don't deserve this
This time right now
It's not something for which
I can take the bow

And I don't deserve this
It wasn't me
I can't take glory for
Something that I can't be

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

And all the art that I supposedly create
Is simply a faded reflection
Of something he's already made

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 be
I don't deserve this

I don't deserve this
