"I Can’t Be Your Jesus" is a deeply emotional track written from the perspective of someone who's been pushed to the edge by a one-sided relationship. It’s about loving someone with deep wounds — but realizing that love can’t mean sacrifice without end. With haunting lyrics and raw vulnerability, the song confronts the weight of trying to save someone who doesn't want to be saved. It's not about blame — it's about survival. A boundary drawn in blood, not bitterness.

You say I was terrible 
Make out like you were abused 
You say your childhood wasn’t normal 
Me
Well I just feel use
By you

Your pain is not my pain 
And I can't be your Jesus 
No, I can't save you 
I can't take the blame 
But I really want to redeem us
Redeem us
I can't be your Jesus

Now I'm not victim shaming 
It would be if it were true (not true) 
But caring about you when your claiming 
You’re hurt by me caring
I'm naming you

Your pain is not my pain 
And I can't be your Jesus 
No, I can't save you 
I can't take the blame 
But I really want to redeem us
Redeem us
I can't be your Jesus

I've cried 
Like you
I've tried 
But Have you
You
I've sighed
I've died 
On the inside

And no I won't be your scapegoat 
You can't goat me into your issues 
I won't be your whipping boy
I won't 
Hey, I'm not trying to dismiss you

Your pain is not my pain 
And I can't be your Jesus 
No, I can't save you 
I can't take the blame 
But I really want to redeem us
Redeem us
I can't be your Jesus
No, I can't be your Jesus

Your demons are real 
I have a few of my own 
But, I would appeal 
Baby now you're grown

Your pain is not my pain 
And I can't be your Jesus 
No, I can't save you 
I can't take the blame 
But I really want to redeem us
Redeem us
I can't be our Jesus
No I cant
I can't be our Jesus
