Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw you in church on Sunday
I was walkin' by on my way to Monday
Cracked lips and the sidewalk
Something's in life that you just can't hear
Try to feel but it hurts too much
Do you you like the fit
When life get's rough
You're always washing your hands of me
Don't you know you can't get clean
[Verse 2]
I didn't know, didn't know
What I was running to
Didn't know, didn't know
What I was burning through
I didn't know, didn't know
What I was running to
Didn't know, didn't know
What I was burning through
Didn't know what I was running from
[Verse 3]
Oh girl, don't stop now
Walking through the city
Like a holy cow
Oh girl, don't stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
[Verse 4]
Are you speaking tongues
Yeah, I'll take seven
You rap just enough for
Such a loaded gun
A little stained glass
And the Holy Ghost
I shall not take what I
Want the most
[Verse 5]
I didn't know, didn't know
What I was running to
Didn't know, didn't know
What I was burning through
I didn't know, didn't know
What I was running to
Didn't know, didn't know
What I was running to
Didn't know, what I was runnin' from
[Verse 6]
Oh girl, don't stop now
Walking through the city
Like a holy cow
Oh girl, don't stop now
The only way to heaven is
A broken vow
Oh girl, don't stop now
Walking through the city
Like a holy cow
Oh girl, don't stop now
The only way to heaven is
A broken vow
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
[Verse 7]
Hide me in mirrors
I am happy when
All I have to do is just pretend
Then I'm feeling like time moves slow
And I lay and let the fruit hang low
Low, low, low
Let the fruit hang low
[Verse 8]
Oh girl, don't stop now
Walking through the city
Like a holy cow
Oh girl, don't stop now
The only way to heaven is
A broken vow
Oh girl, don't stop now
Walking through the city
Like a holy cow
Oh girl, don't stop now
The only way to heaven is
A broken vow
The only way to heaven is
A broken vow
Oh girl, don't stop now
Walking through the city
Like a holy cow
Oh girl, don't stop now
The only way to heaven is
A broken vow
Oh girl, don't stop now
Walking through the city
Like a holy cow
Oh girl, don't stop now
The only way to heaven is
A broken vow
The only way to heaven is
A broken vow
