lyrics

Jesus used to be my friend
Jesus used to be my friend
But I fell out of favor with him
Sad-eyed angel in my head
Sad-eyed angel in my head
She said I'll meet you when you are dead

And everything I thought I knew
That all changed when I lost you
And everything I thought I'd found
That all changed when Jesus let me down

I spoke the words, I drank the wine
I spoke the words, I drank the wine
But it weren't enough to make you mine
I said, ‘Jesus, don't you hear my plea?
Jesus, don't you hear my plea?’
I guess he turned a deaf ear to me

And everything I thought I knew
That all changed when I lost you
And everything I thought I'd found
That all changed when Jesus let me down

Jesus used to be my friend
Jesus used to be my friend
But I fell out of favor with him
