Lyrics
The Rest Is Up To You
Jesus loves you even when you don't
But even He gets tired of you sometimes
Don't look to me to be your sacred fool
Somewhere even you got to draw the line
I can love you enough for the both of us
But that's all that I can do
The rest is up to you
A little bit of pity goes a long, long way 'round here
So I'm thinking you've got something up your sleeve
You need another dose but it's so hard to find a vein
You can't stay but you don't want to leave
I will love you enough for the both of us
But that's all that I will do
The rest is up to you
Our cells don't regenerate every seven years
As some alleged doctors might profess
We don't have nine lives either, so it seems
Better make the most of this one then, I guess
Dance among the dragons, sleep with the saints
Pray for resurrection if you must
Come the dawn when you find the strength to stand up
Confront yourself e're you return to dust
I can love you enough for the both of us
But that's all that I can do
The rest is up to you
