Mrs. Drake Lyrics

And I'd rather not tell God who I am or where I've been

A lot of things have changed since I was a kid

I'd rather not tell God why we don't talk like we once did

Cause I speak of the Holy Spirit like he's a goddamned myth

And the spirits filling my guts now just aren't quite the same old thing

And that girl he sent me last year

Oh, I thought she'd get a ring

And if hell is real, I always knew I'd be on the list

He'd send me down below but look around, he already did

Oh, I swear that love felt like God used to feel

It turns out I was right and neither one of them is real

From the church aisle

To Dante's fire

Every preacher and every lover is a liar

You're just a liar

And I'd rather not tell God that when the bars all closed their doors

You moved your emotional baggage to my floor

Oh, I'd rather not tell God that just to keep me in your bed

You whispered those sweet words I wished that other girls had said

But the girls that came before you, at least they loved me back

And those things I thought made you beautiful were the very things you lacked

I could chastise myself for falling swore I never would again

You were always my lover's second, cause first I thought you were my friend

Oh, I swear that love felt like God used to feel

It turns out I was right and neither one of them is real

From the church aisle

To Dante's fire

Every preacher and every lover is a liar

Yea you're just a liar

She's got lie and St. both in her name, I was foolish

She thinks God is grace and spits sins in my face, I was foolish

Yeah, she says Jesus saves, that makes things okay, I was foolish

She's got lie and St. both in her name, I was foolish

She can lie to me, steal and cheat, make it better

She can run away, hide her face it won't get better

She's got lie and St. both in her name, I knew better

Cause when it comes to lies, all those Christian girls do it better
