Lyrics
I was a good kid,
I was a well-behaved child,
I wouldn't do you no harm,
I had no intention of causing harm to anyone,
I was a nice kid,
I had a pleasant demeanor,
With a nice paper round
Engaged in a humble job delivering newspapers
Forgive me any pain,
Seeking forgiveness for any pain I might have caused,
I may have brung to you,
Acknowledging any pain I may have unintentionally brought to you,
With God's help I know,
With God's help, expressing assurance of my perpetual closeness to you,
I'll always be near to you
Committing to always be there for you
But Jesus hurt me,
Expressing emotional pain caused by Jesus,
When he deserted me, but, I have forgiven you Jesus
Despite feeling abandoned, extending forgiveness to Jesus
For all the desire,
Acknowledging intense desire,
You placed in me when there's nothing I can do with this desire
Feeling helpless in fulfilling this desire
I was a good kid,
Reiterating a well-behaved nature even in challenging situations like hail and snow,
Through hail and snow,
Willing to go to great lengths just to express affection,
I'd go just to moon you,
Symbolically carrying my heart in my hand
I carried my heart in my hand
Seeking understanding from the listener
Do you understand, do you understand
Repeating the plea for understanding
But Jesus hurt me,
Expressing emotional pain caused by Jesus,
When he deserted me, but, I have forgiven you Jesus
Despite feeling abandoned, extending forgiveness to Jesus
For all of the love,
Acknowledging the presence of love,
You placed in me when there's no one I can turn to with this love
Feeling isolated with no one to share this love
Monday - humiliation,
Describing the days of the week with negative emotions,
Tuesday - suffocation,
Highlighting feelings of suffocation on Tuesday,
Wednesday - condescension,
Experiencing condescension on Wednesday,
Thursday - is pathetic
Expressing a sense of pathos on Thursday
By Friday life has killed me,
By Friday, feeling that life has taken a toll on me,
By Friday life has killed me,
Repeating the sentiment of being emotionally defeated by Friday
Oh pretty one, oh pretty one
Addressing someone as "pretty one"
Why did you give me so much desire,
Questioning the reason for having intense desires,
When there is nowhere I can go to offload this desire?
Feeling nowhere to unload these desires
And why did you give me so much love in a loveless world,
Questioning the abundance of love in a loveless world,
When there is no one I can turn to
Expressing the absence of someone to share this love
To unlock all this love?
Expressing a desire for someone to unlock the withheld love
And why did you stick in self deprecating bones and skin?,
Questioning the presence of self-deprecating elements in one's being,
Jesus do you hate me?
Possibly feeling rejected or disliked by Jesus
Why did you stick in self deprecating bones and skin?
Repeating the questioning of self-deprecating elements
Do you hate me?, Do you hate me?, Do you hate me?, Do you hate me?, Do you hate me?
Pondering on whether Jesus harbors dislike or hatred
