You left your Bible on the dresser So I put it in the drawer 'Cause I can't seem to talk to God without yelling anymore And when I sit at your piano I can almost hear those hymns The keys are just collecting dust But I can't close the lid You left my heart as empty As a Monday morning church It used to be so full of faith and now it only hurts And I can hear the devil whisper "Things are only getting worse" You left my heart as empty As a Monday morning church The preacher came by Sunday Said he missed me at the service He told me Jesus loves me But I'm not sure I deserve it 'Cause the faithful man that you loved Is nowhere to be found Since they took all that he believed And laid it in the ground You left my heart as empty As a Monday morning church It used to be so full of faith and now it only hurts And I can hear the devil whisper "Things are only getting worse" You left my heart as empty As a Monday morning church I still believe in Heaven And I'm sure you've made it there But as for me without your love, girl I don't have a prayer You left my heart as empty As a Monday morning church It used to be so full of faith and now it only hurts And I can hear the devil whisper "Things are only getting worse" You left my heart as empty As a Monday morning church You left your Bible on the dresser So I put it in the drawer.
