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?
And 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 mix another drink
The lights are going out
I'll just 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
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
That don't make it junk
That don't make it junk
