Lyrics

(Brent baxter/erin enderlin)

You left your bible on the dresser
So I put it in the drawer
'Cause I can't seem to talk to god without yelling anymore
And when I sit at your piano
I can almost hear those hymns
The keys are just collecting dust
But I can't close the lid

You left my heart as empty
As a monday morning church
It used to be so full of faith and now it only hurts
And I can hear the devil whisper
"Things are only getting worse"
You left my heart as empty
As that monday morning church

The preacher came by sunday
Said he missed me at the service
He told me jesus loves me
But I'm not sure I deserve it
'Cause the faithful man that you loved
Is nowhere to be found
Since they took all that he believed
And laid it in the ground

Repeat chorus

I still believe in heaven
And I'm sure you've made it there
But as for me without your love, girl
I don't have a prayer

Repeat chorus

You left your bible on the dresser
So I put it in the drawer
