Pious Proud Songtext
von Sarah Borges

And I wish I knew right from wrong
Instead of putting it in all these songs
And each time I drown my sorrow in drink
It isn′t of your face that I think

Well I'm on the road to Heaven′s gate
And I know I made my own fate
And I'm begging please Saint Peter
You have mercy on me

And you know I tried but I could not be true
And everything I have I ain't giving it to you
And I know it′s all, it′s such a waste
And I should have taken the narrow and straight


Well I could have been sent from above
If I only had someone like me to love

And I'm begging please Saint Peter
You have mercy on me

If you will I′ll be pious proud
If you will I won't cry out loud

And you know I tried but I could not be true
Everything I have I ain′t giving it to you
And I know it's all, it′s such a waste
And I should have taken the narrow and straight

But I'm on the road to Heaven's gate
And I know I made my own fate

And I′m begging please Saint Peter
You have mercy on me


If you will I′ll be pious proud
If you will I won't cry out loud
