lyrics

You said you'd make a religion out of me
And I am sorry I'm not the person that you wanted me to be
And I was so upset that I finally said what I meant
Then you claim let's be friends, what a dumb sentiment
Oh, you said you'd worship the ground under my feet
So once again is history doomed to repeat
And so I'll try to please any way that I can
Only to catch you in the act with some other man

You're my own personal Judas
Don't know why that I do this
I've made a million excuses
Why am I so goddamn useless
You're my own personal Judas
Don't know why that I do this
I've made a million excuses
Why am I so goddamned

I ain't your messiah, no, ain't your Muhammed or your Buddha
And I don't reckon that I look one goddamned thing like Jesus shoulda
Oh you build me so far up, just to bring me right back down
You weave dry thorns and thistles and you gift me a crown
Isn't it funny how when I wasn't there
Standing right in front of you you're on some love affair
It's ironic how you've lost all of your faith
Oh, my friend you've gone and you have lost all your faith

You're my own personal Judas
Don't know why that I do this
I've made a million excuses
Why am I so goddamn useless
You're my own personal Judas
Don't know why that I do this
I've made a million excuses
Why am I so goddamned
