[Verse]

Make haste to sway my new obsession

Pretend like it's my first confession

Fill me up with doubt

From opposite directions

Don’t leave me asking stupid questions

Figure something out

It's Armageddon, someone call the cops

Is there a reason you'll be saved

In a metamorphosis that never stops

Getting in the way


[Pre-Chorus]

If you say “I’ll be your saving grace

I'll hold up the sky

Just say the word

And I'll be sure to do it right”

It makes no sense why you still complain

About how every time

I fall apart

You're in the dark

There must be no such thing as light


[Chorus]

If I let God down, I let God down

‘cause I'm a sinner no matter what, so if you want to

Let your guard down, let your guard down

It's not a blessing if it's a crutch


[Verse]

I can't believe it, I’m astonished

It’s not an omen, it's a promise

Who are you to say

I shouldn’t be dishonest

If you could finish what you started

It wouldn't be this way

Hah, well that's my conjecture but it's nothing new

God knows the subject’s getting tired

But I'm still a skeptic and I'm onto you

Like there's something on the line


[Pre-Chorus]

If you say “I'll be your saving grace”

I won't question why

I'll bite my tongue

‘cause I'm still young

And we've got time

End up crushed by the warm embrace

Like souls left to dry

And take the blame

‘cause all their pain

Serves as proof they've never tried


[Chorus]

If I let God down, I let God down

‘cause I'm a sinner no matter what, so if you want to

Let your guard down, let your guard down

It's not a blessing if it's a crutch


[Outro]

If I let God down, I let God down

We've got each other no matter what, so if you want to

Let your guard down, let your guard down

Who said redemption was meant for us?
