They say to kill a soul
Takes time and damage
A broken heart
A love lost in the family
But I lost my faith
Then dragged you with me
So now I sit and fill
The glass that made you leave me
To break a man of the habits off that shelf
It takes a mirror look
And crying out for help
So why can't I feel what Christians live and breathe
And why can't I be enough for what she needs
'Cause she needed me to see
A lost sinners fall
Bound to eternity
I fake a smile
To hold me to my senses
Times of loving touch
A former me worth saving
But lately I can't tell
A smile from that whiskey
And every bottled down
Just bottles up my healing
To break a man of the habits off that shelf
It takes a mirror look
And crying out for help
So why can't I feel what Christians live and breathe
And why can't I be enough for what she needs
'Cause she needed me to see
A lost sinners fall
Bound to eternity
Honey I can change and keep you safe
Pick up that Book
And read the night away
The night away
But it won't change if you would stay
'Cause in your heart
You know how I am made
What I have made
So to break a man of the habits off that shelf
It takes a mirror look
And crying out for help
Why can't I feel what Christians live and breathe
And why can't I be enough for what she needs
'Cause she needed me to see
A lost sinners fall
Hell-bound to eternity
