Acceptance Lyrics - Singles - Patrick Goble

My greatest strength contradicts your heart's desire 

Your two-tone eyes and fickle words just stoke the fire 

But between you and me, we know the straights are dire 

We grit our teeth, bite our tongues, and walk the wire 

Traipsing through Eden to scold the liar 

I know we're too flawed to be appeased 

You are my Judas, heavy hearts won't be relieved 

Hand in hand, we feed each other's needs 

Till the time come to reveal our dirty deeds 

Last May after you burned down the church 

Your alibi seemed all too well rehearsed 

I saw the embers flicker in your eyes 

Your box of matches came as no surprise 

I know we're too flawed to be appeased 

You are my Judas, heavy hearts won't be relieved 

Hand in hand, we feed each other's needs 

Till the time come to reveal our dirty deeds 

Last June I came home bruised and hurt 

You smelled the whiskey, saw the grit, grim, and dirt 

But you washed my facecool water from the well 

And spoke of tender times before this living hell 

But together we'll face the mob at dusk 

Truth be revealed, we've no one else to trust 

And we'll stand side by side and face the angry shouts 

You are the one for me, of this I have no doubt! 

I know we're too flawed to be appeased 

You are my Judas, heavy hearts won't be relieved 

Hand in hand, we feed each other's needs 

Till the time come to reveal our dirty deeds 

My greatest strength contradicts your heart's desire 

Your two-tone eyes and fickle words just stoke the fire
