When I was just a naive girl
I passed out all the pieces of myself
To women who knew nothing else
But running from the women that they were
When fortune came around to call
I lived inside a dreamlike state
And no amount of sleep can save
Reality from killing all
And if it takes some time to face it
Let it tick away
But I'll be damned if I let you control me
This way
Oh Heaven open up your gates
Oh Jesus let me be your saved
Oh pretty woman that I knew
How's hiding from the mess you made
How's hiding from yourself
Is hiding from it all in vain
If you could do it all again
Would you still look me in the eye
You couldn't look me in the eye
When all I wanted was to love you
Damn the lies that cut through
And if it takes some time to face it
Let it tick away
But I'll be damned if I let you control me
This way
Oh Heaven open up your gates
Oh Jesus let me be your saved
Oh pretty woman that I knew
How's hiding from the mess you made
How's hiding from yourself
Is hiding from it all in vain
You called me to tell me
There's something you've been chewing on
I don't have no time for discussion
Or rushing through what went wrong
It's time to be quiet it's time to turn away
From the heat of your lies
No more time for you
I have no more time for you
No more time for you
I have no more time for you yeah
Oh Heaven open up your gates
Oh Jesus let me be your saved
Oh pretty woman pretty woman that I knew
How's hiding from the mess you
How's hiding from the mess you made
Ooh
Is it all in vain
