Lyrics
Verse 1
I wish I could crack the code
I wish I could heal your heart
And make you whole
Program your soul
To see me as it's home
Take your broken angry song
And change the tone
I don't wanna be my triggers
Push you away
And make the trigger bigger
I can either shut down
Or dig my heels in
Set myself against the wind
And bend again
Chorus
Will this break me
I will wait for healing
This is so painfully deep
Oh my Lord
You gon' have to show me how
Verse 2
I'll still hold you in my arms
Push away the thoughts
That come to bring you far
Remind your body
I'm the one he brought you to
Remind you I'm the riff
That you could never lose
I'ma find you hope
And hold it close when you let go
Wrap myself around your body
When your legs won't hold
And you can just keep leaning on me
Chorus
Will this break
Me
I will wait for
Healing
This is so painfully deep
Oh my Lord
You gon' have to show me how
Bridge
Show me
Teach me
Only You know
I will wait here
Only You know

Meaning & Inspiration
Show Me is a prayer from someone trying to love a hurting person through pain that feels out of reach. The first verse admits a wish to crack the code and heal a broken, angry song, while also naming the fear of letting personal triggers push that person away. The narrator chooses between shutting down and digging in, and ends up bending again.
The chorus is a plain request to the Lord: "You gon' have to show me how." It admits the pain is "painfully deep" and commits to waiting for healing. The second verse pictures steady presence, holding on, and offering hope when the other person lets go.
The bridge shortens the prayer to "Show me" and "Teach me", and says that only God knows the way forward. The lyric does not quote a passage, but its waiting and asking posture is close to Psalm 25:4 and Psalm 27:14. It reads as an honest prayer for patience and guidance inside a difficult relationship.
