Why have I been so concerned with my perfection
Truth is I don't wanna see my own reflection
All these pieces are so hard to hold together
Am I the only one feeling what I'm feelin'
My vision's blurry and I cannot see the reason
Why my heart would leave me hangin' in this season
When I'm playing strong you cannot meet me in my weakness
Am I the only one feelin' what I'm feelin'
Running around
Feeling so down
Trying to be everything to
Everyone else
Losing myself
When it feels like work
When my heart aches
I go easy on myself
When I hear you say
I got you, I got you
You've been so good
You've been so kind
If it all goes wrong
I got one thing right
I got you, I got you
I rub my eyes cuz I am trying to find a reason
Why nothing changes and I'm stuck in this season
I guess it's where I let go and I let you lead me
Am I the only one feelin' what I'm feelin'
Running around
Feeling so down
Trying to be everything to
Everyone else
Losing myself
When it feels like work
When my heart aches
I go easy on myself
When I hear you say
I got you, I got you
You've been so good
You've been so kind
If it all goes wrong
I got one thing right
I got you, I got you
When my heart deceives me
I know what is true
I've been leaning on me
I should be leaning on you
When it feels like work
When my heart aches
I go easy on myself
When I hear you say
I got you, I got you
You've been so good
You've been so kind
If it all goes wrong
I got one thing right
I got you, I got you

Tasha Layton, a Christian singer-songwriter, delivers a heartfelt and passionate performance that captures the essence of the song.
The song begins with the acknowledgment of our human struggle for perfection. We often strive to be flawless, to have it all together. However, the truth is that we all have our flaws and weaknesses. Tasha Layton expresses her vulnerability and the difficulty of holding all the pieces of her life together. This is a sentiment that many of us can relate to.
In the chorus, Tasha sings, "When it feels like work, when my heart aches, I go easy on myself. When I hear you say, I got you, I got you." These words remind us that we don't have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. God is there to support us, to hold us up when we feel weak. It is in our moments of struggle that we can find comfort in knowing that God is with us.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of letting go and surrendering to God's plan. Tasha Layton questions why she is trying to control everything when she knows that God is in control. This is a powerful reminder for us to release our grip on our own lives and trust in God's guidance.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." This verse reassures us that when we surrender to Jesus and lay our burdens at His feet, He will give us rest and carry our load.
Another verse that aligns with the message of the song is Psalm 55:22, which says, "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken."
