"Red Letters" lyrics

It's time that I was honest with myself
That Bible works much better off the shelf
And they're telling me to read it
That it could bring some healing
Well, sorry heaven, but I'm hurting like hell

I lost my mom a couple weeks ago
Thought I could find some healing in these songs
But every verse that I would write
Had a verse for me in mind
Like someone else was watching all along

If I'm being honest this life ain't been nice
The grass isn't greener on the other side
So I medicate like pastor said with that leather book of truth
And when I do
Somehow those red letters don't make me feel so blue

It's time for me to get back on my feet
I owe it to myself and family
A little chapter every day
Is the only way to turn the page
So man up Matt and get down on your knees

If I'm being honest this life ain't been nice
The grass isn't greener on the other side
So I medicate like pastor said with that leather book of truth
And when I do
Somehow those red letters don't make me feel so blue

Yeah I could make some therapist real rich
But there's only one man that's fixing this

So if I'm being honest this life ain't been nice
The grass isn't greener on the other side
So I medicate like Jesus said with that leather book of truth
And when I do
Somehow those red letters don't make me feel so blue
Somehow those red letters don't make me feel so blue
