God this is hard, you've had no sleep
You've thought of nothing else for weeks
You begin your lines and fumble with your purse
Its been eatin' you, you don't know what to do
And your lie only made it worse
You can't expect him to understand
He's not a saint, he's just a man
And you know that you can't change what you did
But if you had 40 lives you'd get it right by the 39th
As it is all that you can ask is all this will pass
God you wish like hell you hadn't done it
And you tell him how much you regret it
But you're talking to yourself
You're as lonely and as desperate
As a kettle boiling with no one there to get it
[ Youth Group Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
All the words you meant to say
Hang in the air then float away
And vanish into the end of a dying day
And if you had 40 lives you'd get it right by the 39th
And as it is all that you can ask is all this will pass
Don't lie, don't lie
Don't lie
And if only you hadn't stayed
And if only you'd been delayed
And it's funny what a difference a minute makes
But if you had 40 lives you'd get it right by the 39th
As it is all that you can ask is all this will pass
