For God’s Sake

You tried to hurt me

I counted thirty times

And I know you think that’s paranoid

But you didn’t warn me

Now you’ve gone and torn me

And I know that I’m not healing well

You missed your calling

You should have read the book

And said you’re sorry

For all the time you took

To find the better side of you

You can’t afford me

All the time you stored me

And I know time is running thin

We’ve lost the picture

That we painted last year

And I know the memory’s fading, too

You missed your calling

You should have read the book

And said you’re sorry

For all the time you took

To find the better side of you

I believed, I believed, I believed

I would never leave

I believe, I believe, I believe

God was testing me

We failed miserably

You drunken lover

But you will soon recover

And I know someday I’ll take you back

But you’ve got to promise

That you’ll keep this from us

So I know I can rely on you

You missed your calling

You should have read the book

And said you’re sorry

For all the time you took

To find the better side of you

I believed, I believed, I believed

I would never leave

I believe, I believe, I believe

God was testing me

And we failed miserably

You claim you’re different now

I don’t see it anyhow

For God’s sake we’ll try again
