Lyrics
I said I’d quit a hundred times
In parked cars and midnight prayers
Drew a line out in the sand
Then crossed it like it wasn’t there
People started moving on
I could see it in their eyes
They got tired of hearing promises
That never stayed alive
And honestly
I understood
Pre-Chorus
If I were them
I would’ve left me too
Chorus
They said
“Not him”
“Not now”
“Not ever”
“He’ll never turn it around”
They said
“Give up”
“Move on”
“Whatever”
“He’ll never figure it out”
But You said
Not yet
Not yet
I know you’re not finished
Not yet
Not yet
I know there’s more in him
Everybody else was ready to walk away
But You said
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
I know there’s more in him
Everybody else was ready to walk away
But You said
Not yet
Verse 2
I watched people lower expectations
One by one
Started introducing myself
As the things that I’d become
Like maybe failure was my name
Maybe stuck was all I’d be
Maybe everybody saw something
I was too blind to see
Pre-Chorus
But somehow You kept showing up
Where nobody else would be
Chorus
They said
“Not him”
“Not now”
“Not ever”
“He’ll never turn it around”
They said
“Give up”
“Move on”
“Whatever”
“He’ll never figure it out”
But You said
Not yet
Not yet
I know you’re not finished
Not yet
Not yet
I know there’s more in him
Everybody else was ready to walk away
But You said
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
I know there’s more in him
Everybody else was ready to walk away
But You said
Not yet
Bridge
One more day
One more chance
One more prayer
One more dance
One more sunrise
One more breath
Everybody saying
“Nothing’s left”
But You said
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
But You said
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Final Chorus
They said
“Not him”
“Not now”
“Not ever”
“He’ll never turn it around”
They said
“Give up”
“Move on”
“Whatever”
“He’ll never figure it out”
But You said
Not yet
Not yet
I know you’re not finished
Not yet
Not yet
I know there’s more in him
Everybody else was ready to walk away
Everybody else was ready to call it done
Everybody else was ready to cut me down
But You said
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Outro
Everybody else was done
But You said
