Holy Waters

I have long been a believer
I have searched for something deeper
'Neath the neon and the brightly coloured sky
And I'm often just mistaken
Caught in the mysteries of our making
And prone to lose myself for any length of time

I guess you knew that when you met me
Now you'll never quite forget me
Or forgive, or know the reasoning behind
All the drowning and the yelling
Was a story in the telling
Yours and mine, but I'm a little less refined

'Cause I have seen my reflection in your holy waters
I don't like all her features, but I'll keep her just the same

Is it too late for me to mention
It was never my intention
To be so far gone that I couldn't see the door?
And I'll never know for certain
If all I cause is so much hurt
Then there's a reason you kept coming back for more

'Cause I have seen my reflection in your holy waters
I don't like all of her features, but I'll keep her just the same
I turn left at Albuquerque, hoping trouble might desert me
And it's not losing you that hurts me
It's just the way you say my name

All so deep, but over cautious
See the misery it brought us
There was never too much trust, as I recall
And there's so much I couldn't tell you
While my words knew no value
So you left not hearing anything at all

'Cause I have seen my reflection in your holy waters
I don't like all of her features, but I'll keep her just the same
I'm still tongue-tied and thirsty, so high, dry and dirty
And it's not losing you that hurts me
It's just the way you say my name

No, it's not losing you that hurts me
It's just the way you say my name
No, it's not losing you
It's the way you say my name
