New John Mayer song

Sometimes I hear a song on the radio and I think it's a Gospel song but it's not, at least I don't think it is. But when I heard this song I immediately thought of how this sometimes describes my Christian walk. When my priorities, or my agenda gets in front of what is truly important. Loving Jesus with my whole heart. Not just half. It's called Half of My Heart by John Mayer and I'm pretty sure he wrote it about a girl, but maybe not.


I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
trying my best to understand all that your love can bring

oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you
oh, with half of my heart

I was made to believe i'd never love somebody else
I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came
showing me a better way and all that my love can bring

oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you
oh, with half of my heart
with half of my heart

your faith is strong
but I can only fall short for so long
time will hold, later on
you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
but I can't stop loving you
but I can't stop loving you
but I can't stop loving you with half of my...

half of my heart
half of my heart

half of my heart's got a real good imagination
half of my heart's got you
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that half of my heart won't do

half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
and half of my heart is the part of a man who's never really loved anything

half of my heart
half of my heart
half of my heart
half of my heart
half of my heart
half of my heart
