EVERCLEAR - Why I Don't Believe In God lyrics

rate me

I heard the truth about you<br>And it really doesn't read at all<br>Like the whipping stick you raised me with<br>A scared woman in a private hell<br>Hushed voice like electric bells<br><br>Strange talk about edgar casey<br>And the long lame walk of the dark 70's<br>Strange talk about edgar casey<br>And the long lame walk of the dark 70's<br><br>I heard the truth about you, yeah you<br>Mama they woke me up<br>I was deep in an idiot sleep<br>I was just eight years old<br>Heard big words with a horrible sound<br>Why'd they have to call my school<br>Tell me my mother had a nervous breakdown<br><br>I wish I believed like you do, yeah you<br>In the myth of a merciful god<br>In the myth of a heaven and hell<br>I hear the voices you hear sometimes<br>Sometimes it gets so much<br>I feel like letting go<br>Sometimes it gets so hard<br>I feel like letting it go<br>Sometimes it gets so goddamn hard<br>I feel like letting it all go<br>Letting it all go, letting it all go<br>Letting it all go, letting it all go<br><br>I ran away and went looking for you<br>Back to culver city and the old neighborhood<br>Need to know if you were really gone<br>Need to know if you were gone for good<br>I ran through the projects at night<br>Hide in the dark from my friends in the light<br>Hide from my brother-in-law<br>Hide from the things he'd say<br>Said you weren't losing your mind<br>He said you just needed a rest<br>He said you'd be coming home soon<br>He said the doctors there would know what's best<br>Said that maybe I could go live with dad for a while<br><br>I know the truth about you, I know the truth about you<br>I know the truth about you, I know the truth about you<br>I know the truth, I know the truth, I know the truth<br>I know the truth about you<br><br>Mama they woke me up, I was just eight years old<br>Sometimes it gets so hard, I feel like letting it go<br>Sometimes it gets so hard, I feel like letting it all go<br>Letting it all go, letting it all go<br><br>Yeah, letting it all go
