Verse 1
Mama's getting nervous
'Cause I haven't been to church here in a while
Honestly, I get it, probably feel the same if it was my child
I don't know if it's me or them
But, God, I can't breathe, this stress will kill me
Wish I'd never witnessed the corruption on the inside
Wish I'd never witnessed the corruption on the inside

Chorus
I don't wanna be jaded
But I'm baring wounds from the church of celebrity
(Jaded, jaded, jaded, jaded, jaded)
I don't wanna be jaded
But I think I'm lost and not who I'm meant to be
(Jaded, jaded, jaded, jaded, jaded)

Verse 2
Another story broke about abuse and, God, I'm feeling crushed
Decades later, pastors richer, famous wallow, women hushed
I don't know if it's me or them
But, God, I can't breathe, this stress will kill me
I know I love justice but remember you're the only judge

Chorus
I don't wanna be jaded
But I'm baring wounds from the church of celebrity
(Jaded, jaded, jaded, jaded, jaded)
I don't wanna be jaded
But I think I'm lost and not who I'm meant to be
(Jaded, jaded, jaded, jaded, jaded)

Outro
Pain and grief are honest friends we need but don't want
I wish nothing bothered me and I could move on
What if we're lost?
Why is it my business if our system's held up by our silent victims?
