Why'd it have to happen this way
Of all the days it could have been
What a day
I, I, I am scared

What am I to do with those eyes
look at what you've done to my pride
I, I, I am ill prepared

Well, me and God got talkin' to do
A lot of catching up
A lot of sussing through
I think he saw me lying through my teeth
I was picturing my heaven
but you were not with me
I was back in the states and you couldn't hear my tears at the gates

You were proud of me that day
You know I caught a smile before you turned away
Oh you and I were close friends

I wish I could get you out of my mind
You let me slip through the great divide
But no you, you are here

Well, me and God got talkin' to do
A lot of catching up
A lot of sussing through
I think he saw me lying through my teeth
I was picturing my heaven
but you were not with me
I was back in the states and you couldn't hear my tears at the gates
