My absolution is stronger, now that I know what you are
I'd pray at your church as my name you'd besmirch from afar
You were the highest prize, a beauty in my eyes like no other
Despite all our sins and a good share of wins we just couldn't hold on to each other
Now you sit in the pews, never changing your views at all
You preach all your hate, "I was a terrible mate", I was always set up for a fall
I tried to confess but you couldn't care less we were severed
So I threw down our book taking not one more look and I floated away like a feather
And now you want back on the scene, hoping that my will might falter
But darling, I know where you've been, praying at another man's altar
But that's alright!
That's alright with me
Looks like it all fell down so I could get off the ground for good!
And now, now I'm gonna make it understood!
