Lyrics

I fought against the bottle
But I had to do it drunk –
Took my diamond to the pawnshop –
But that don't make it junk

I know that i'm forgiven
But I don't know how I know
I don't trust my inner feelings –
Inner feelings come and go

How come you called me here tonight?
How come you bother
With my heart at all?
You raise me up in grace
Then you put me in a place
Where I must fall

Too late to fix another drink –
The lights are going out –
I'll listen to the darkness sing –
I know what that's about

I tried to love you my way
But I couldn't make it hold
So I closed the book of longing
And I do what I am told

How come you called me here tonight?
How come you bother with my heart at all?
You raise me up in grace
Then you put me in a place
Where I must fall

I fought against the bottle
But I had to do it drunk –
Took my diamond to the pawnshop –
But that don't make it junk
