LEFTOVERS

the Only One

she packed up my bags, put ‘em out on the corner.
she changed all the locks and said it was over
I said hey baby, don’t you still love me?
her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she told me
you smell of cheap wine, liquor and other women
you waste all your time on selfish ambitions
and you’ve got the gall to want explanation
that smirk on your face and your dark disposition
I oughta curse you to hell for all the evil you’ve done
and if Jesus loves you
Jesus, is the only one

I know I’ve lived fast, I know I’ve lived hard
I’ve cheated my friends and I’ve broken my word
I struggle each day under this load
as I stumble on down to the end of the road
try as I might, I can’t seem to change
so I drink but the drink don’t dilute the shame
and I can’t undo all the evil I’ve done
so if Jesus loves me
Jesus, is the only one

as I reminisce in my final days
time may stretch back to the words that she said
or fade they just might and all that remains
is the way that I’ve felt since that girl walked away.
it’s funny how you reap every seed that you’ve sown
my body has withered my soul hasn’t grown
but at least I regret all the evil I’ve done
and if Jesus loves me
Jesus is the only one.
