The Judge and Culprit

I walk around with a backpack of words that they used to say
A joke and a laugh
If I said it first, would it all go away
Wonder the words I've said
That someone else can't get out of their head
Wonder the hurt I've chosen and didn't even notice

Am I the judge or am I the culprit
Am I the victim of words that were spoken
I am a sinner cause I am no saint
God knows I'm imperfect
And we're all that way
God knows I'm imperfect
God knows I'm imperfect
God knows I'm imperfect
And we're all that way

We've all got expectations we can't meet
Set a bar that no one can reach
Check a box to get by then wonder why
We talk about they and them
But who are they really to make me feel any less
Even those who don't care
Want everyone to know
Even those who don't care
Hope someone will though

Am I the judge or am I the culprit
Am I the victim of words that were spoken
I am a sinner cause I am no saint
God knows I'm imperfect
And we're all that way
God knows I'm imperfect
God knows I'm imperfect
God knows I'm imperfect
And we're all that way

When I'm judged by the Judge
And don't make the cut
Asking what went wrong
I act like I know nothing
Like I never hurt nobody
But there's dirt on my hands
When I'm judged by the Judge
I hope He speaks up cause I know what I've done
Too late for an apology But I am sorry
Wonder how you still love me

Am I the judge or am I the culprit
Am I the victim of words that were spoken
I am a sinner cause I am no saint
God knows I'm imperfect
And we're all that way
God knows I'm imperfect
God knows I'm imperfect
God knows I'm imperfect
And we're all that way
