Lyrics
V1
I?m starting to get that feeling like I don?t know right from wrong.
The days are a little crazy and the nights are way too long.
I?m starting to reach that point where I don?t really care.
I open up the door at home and I know that you?re not there.
It?s been a month of Sundays since I?ve heard your voice.
I?d like to change that situation but I?ve got no choice.
Haven?t touched the dishes, haven?t shaved my beard.
If I don?t snap out of this soon I may do something weird.
Chorus
Oh, God would you forgive me, will you take me in
If I go off the deep end and commit a mortal sin?
I can?t live without her, Lord, you know I try.
And tonight is a good night to cry (?sigh? optional lyric)
V2
I feel the deep depression that I?ve only read about.
I feel the ambiguity that life keeps handing out.
I?ve taken all your pictures and I?ve pinned them to the wall
So I could stand in one room and talk to you all.
I?d just like to tell you what a pleasure it?s been
Being your lover, being your friend.
And I?d trade places with you if there was a way
Better yet I?ll join you, in my heart I pray,
Chorus
Oh, God would you forgive me, will you take me in
If I go off the deep end and commit a mortal sin?
I can?t live without her, Lord, you know I try.
And tonight is a good night to cry.
Bridge/Chorus
Why do I feel so helpless, why am I so upset?
I?ve taken this fool heartache thing as far as I can get!
Oh, God would you forgive me, will you take me in
If I go off the deep end and commit a mortal sin?
I can?t live without her, Lord, you know I try.
And tonight is a good night to cry (?die? optional lyric).
