I gave up on you a long time ago How can you blame me? We made plans to meet and you never showed You kept me waiting They said everything would work out just fine They said you'd help me But as it turns out it was all a lie And they're off someplace far away laughing at me You've been there for me one time in my life But it didn't matter You came and went so fast all my hope And faith in you shattered And now here I sit alone in this room No one to confide in You watched all my dreams come apart at the seams You laughed, you left, you waited in hiding Bless me dark father I have sinned I've done it before and I'll do it again 'Cause it keeps me warm, and makes you smile Been beneath me all the while Hell yes You gave up on me along time ago I can't say I blame you I rejected the faith in your holy rays Is what it comes down to They said everything would work out just fine I just went crazy But I'm better now having a good time Being selfish, and drunken, and vulgar, and lazy Bless me dark father I have sinned I've done it before and I'll do it again 'cause it keeps me warm, and makes you smile Been beneath me all the while Bless me dark father I can't win Without you I'm as good as dead 'Cause you keep me warm, you make me smile You've been on my shoulder all the while Whispering sweet nothings Whispering sweet nothings Whispering sweet nothings You've been whispering sweet nothings
