Precious

How can you speak so clear?

Words I thought I'd never hear

How could you lose your head

Over things I swear I never said?

And why would you say to me

I'm not who you thought I'd be?

These days of my life

I've given you the best of me

Regardless of the rest of me

But something doubted inside your mind

Now I can't keep you satisfied

Well, I can hear your words but

What I want to know is...

How'd you get to be so precious?

How'd you get to be so right?

I never said I would be perfect

Never even said I'd see the light

I don't believe that I should stand

And let you beat me to the ground

But I believe the words I hear

When the angel whispers in my ear

And who should I believe the most?

The Father, Son, or the Holy Ghost?

These days of my life

Well, you can say the words but

What I want to know is...

How'd you get to be so precious?

How'd you get to be so right?

I never said I would be perfect

Never even said I'd see the light

Well, how'd you get to be so precious?

How'd you get to be so right?

I never said I would be perfect

Never even said I'd see the light

How'd you get to be so precious?

How'd you get to be so right?

I never promised you the world was nice

I just tried to do everything right
