Left Georgia for Tennessee when I was eighteen Met a girl named Tuesday who shined her light on me She was 5'9 with a storm in her eyes And of all the shoulders on which she could've cried, she picked mine She picked mine Now, I wish that I hadn't stepped down and lied When I acted like it was nothing to me And if I could only go back in time I'd rewrite our whole story Well, her mama caught wind that her daughter's friend Might be of the wrong persuasion Next thing I know, her mama's callin', tellin' her daughter Just the thought of it, it made her sick over the toilet Instead of backin' me up, Tuesday melted right down Asked me to write her mother and say sorry for the confusion That, of course, there'd been no sin And to emphasize how much I loved Jesus and men How I wish that I hadn't stepped down and lied When I acted like it was nothing to me 'Cause that night, for the first time, I took a knife To the paper-thin skin on my arms Oh my Lord, oh my Christ, is this the end? I heard myself cry from the tile Letras de cancionesThe darkness of eternal night started closin' in And I thought, "Surely, no future exists" Tuesday, now I hardly think of you But when I do, I only think of shame And, girl, I tell ya, if I could do it again I sure as hell wouldn't do it the same No, I cannot believe that I stepped down and lied I should have told you I loved you And now I know that your shame was not mine And I am perfect in my Lord's eyes For a decade, I let you live in my head But with this exorcism, I put our story to bed And one more thing, if you ever hear this song Tell your mama she can go suck an egg From Letras Mania
