[Verse 1] I've been here forever in the cold Waiting in the weather while you go out searching for our gold But nothing lasts forever I've been told Nothing lasts forever, oh, but some of this shit's gettin' pretty old
[Chorus] Oh oh oh, if the son of God Would come down and tell me what to do, to my face, now Oh oh oh, if the son of God Would write it down for me in his own handwriting Oh oh oh, then I'd be good, then I'd be good I swear I'd be good
[Verse 2] But still you don't believe me As if I would be lyin', as if I were a suspect As if I were not crying, as if I was not forgiven For my sins, as if the mirror's broken And I would get no chance on that side again
[Chorus]
[Bridge] Softly and so sweetly, whisper near Softly and so sweetly, because you never know who's gonna overhear Well, if you're gonna shame me, say my name And if you're gonna blame, well then, lay the blame Lay the blame
