Leave the Key Lyrics

she runs away, runs away from things she's afraid of
hides in the day, in the day
on her knees prayin'
"oh my Lord!" prayin', "oh, my Lord!"

she mustn't know, mustn't how to believe in herself
puts all her faith, all her faith in someone else

"oh my Lord!" sayin', "oh, my Lord!"

guess it isn't gonna work like we thought

you can take my time, and you can break my hope
but you better believe i'm not wasting anymore
my faith's in me; one day i hope you'll see
but for now you better leave the key
leave the k-k-k-key
she asks for things, pretty things to everyone she can Show
jewels and rings, furs and bling
on her knees beggin'

"oh my Lord!" beggin', "please, my Lord!"

she gives her trust, all her trust in objects that don't animate
she looks at us, looks at us like we're the ones who need saved
"my Lord!" save 'em, "oh, my Lord!"
they couldn't make enough holy water!

you can take my time, and you can break my hope
but you better believe i'm not wasting anymore
my faith's in me; one day i hope you'll see
but for now you better leave the key
leave the k-k-k-key

on the way back from the river...
