Lyrics
One Last Time
You preach about love
In church every Sunday
You throw your words around
like knives on Monday
You have a woman on the side
You don?t think I know
only God has heard my cries
before His throne
everybody sees the smile
on the preacher?s wife
they got no clue what?s goin? on
behind these eyes
Chorus:
One last time
I lay me down to weep
It doesn?t faze you
you go right off to sleep
close your eyes
to my suitcase by the door
I will never lay me down
to weep for you no more
In the front row of
the congregation
in the prison of
your reputation
I?ve protected you
and I?ve kept my vows
but is it right to live a lie
or let the truth come out
the man who used to love the Lord
is gone without a trace
and when I go
you?ll only cry
for your own disgrace
(repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
You?ll never know how hard I tried
for your sake
This time the pillow will be dry
before you wake
