Religion Of You

RELIGION OF YOU - Written by Carroll Bryant

I lay awake until dawn

Restricted by your memory and feeling this way

I thought it all was my fault

To thy own-self I so willing betrayed

It took me forever and a lifetime

To get over the religion of your pain

And here I am living in eternity

Trapped between the sheets where we used to lay

 

When will the midnight forget me?

When will the sun shine down on my heart again?

When will the rain wash away all of my tears?

When will the winds of hope blow this way and then

Blow away the end?

I battled all of your demons

Hell and damnation wouldn’t let me be

You were someone to believe in

You just didn’t want to believe in me

 It took a miracle and maybe a prayer

To get over the religion of your couth

And here I am without you here

To lead the way into the land of the truth

When will the midnight forget me?

When will the sun shine down on my heart again?

When will the rain wash away all of my tears?

When will the winds of hope blow this way and then

Blow away the end?

You cut me deep

You laughed right in my face

You left without a trace

You didn’t even hesitate

You walked away

Feeling good about yourself

So proud of what you did

So mean in everything

So happy to have had me under your spell

You didn’t care

You left me standing there

You fed me to the bear

You didn’t even play it fair

You walked away

Feeling good about it all

So proud of who you are

So glad to see me fall

So happy to have put me through all of this hell

I can’t think straight for crying

I can’t seem to even smile when I really need to

For what’s the commonsense in trying?

If all I get in return is the naked thought of you?

It took me longer than it should have

To understand the religion of love so bad

And here I go living my epitaph

Infected by the remnants of a brutally bleeding scab

When will the midnight forget me?

When will the sun shine down on my heart again?

When will the rain wash away all of my tears?

When will the winds of hope blow this way and then

Blow away the end?

Blow this way again?

Blow away the end?
