The Judgement - Christian Smith

The accused will rise To be torn in two Guilty of nothin' but loving you This is the judgement And I'm willin' to plead How you don't want me Hopin' this torment will cease Will I be released? There'll be lies, there'll be tears A jury of your peers With a pitiful look of experience Hand down the judgement And if I done wrong And loved you too long Stand up and just testify How can you deny? Objection overruled I wait for my reprieve With the trust of the deceived The wisdom of the fool It's his sorrowful face Too heavy for his head 'Cos he bowed it as something come over him It was the judgement And he falls to his knees Have mercy on me He clings to the hem of her gown She says: "Just take him down" Just take him down Just take him down

When I was up You'd always come around When I need a friend You could never be found I got a hole Where my heart used to be I wouldn't treat a dog, no The way you treated me When time was good, love All of your lovin' was the same Oh, when the goin' got rough Boy, you hardly knew my name You locked me out And you threw away the key, baby I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no, no The way you treated me Got me cryin' for the love That I'm needin' Beggin' like a dog for a bone Boy, I've spent most of my time grievin' You turn you back And you leave me, one of these old days Lord knows that it's true Just when you need me the most I'll be walking out on you When you say As you're beggin' down on your knees, baby I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no The way you treated me The way you treated me I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no The way you treated me No, no I wouldn't do it No, baby, I couldn't do it I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no, no The way you treated me No baby, the way you treated me

Where did your fate go? Was I just to fall on my own? If this room was full of lies Is that how you fooled me with love? I see how you changed me, I know what you said It don't make me hate you, I wish that it did I'm, I'm trying to find words, trying to make sense If I don't try, where do I find the lies between the lines? Why does it hurt so much? Won't understand, no, I can't let this go Oh, you made plans now, you can't shut me down Ah, you're advanced, but you can't tell them now No, you can't tell them how You face the pain while your days are numbered You took the highway, you've done it always You hurt this woman, you put your needs first And I've heard this many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it got So much for you're my one and only You'd say that you were all mine You knew that your words were hard to stand by I was scared of change, but then I complied even though it hurt I stayed and now I'm glad you have it all But there's things that you can't buy Glad that you said sorry, but habits they die hard Why, you want to offer me love that you don't have? Loving you exhausted me, baby, and you charged, you charged I'll take the high road, I've done it always Our time is old, there's only one way You hurt this woman, you put your needs first It's played out many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it goes So much for you're my one and only (You had all of this) (Oh, you still search for bad) So much for you're my one and only (You fought all of this) (You don't even know how bad it got) So much for you're my one and only I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that
