Atonement

I’ll start with a hook:
I didn’t think that I could think so much
And it’s just my luck
That it was you that I was thinking of
I tried to read the Bible
But I figured I’d write my own
For my lover, my Lord and Savior
But the world wasn’t in my favor
You said you’d write me a letter
I thought that meant you’d forget her
You complimented my cursive writing
But a battle for you is not one worth fighting
I read a book, attended a wake
It got me thinking ‘bout dying
I fear that I’ll die alone
I fear that I’ll die before I’m known
I fear that I’m losing my youth
I’m bathing in rose water
‘Cause if I don’t have my beauty, don’t have my touch
Will my words really mean that much?
You said you’d write me a letter
I thought that meant you’d forget her
You complimented my cursive writing
But a battle for you is not one worth fighting
And I’m reaching out; where’s my reward?
I used to be the girl everyone adored
And I found myself when I was lost in the moment
And here’s what I get, here’s my atonement
Oh, here’s my atonement
Oh, here’s my atonement
