Judas Kiss

I hope wherever you are
Is a better place than this
'Cause I'm left here alone
Betrayed by a Judas kiss
Been a long hot summer
Still waitin on a breeze
I got nothin in my pockets
I got holes in my jeans
The radio has been playin
The same old rotten songs
Every single tune reminds me of you
All summer long
And the roses in the closet
All summer I watched them fade
And I know they'll turn to dust
Like the promises you made
When I close my eyes
I can still taste your lips
'Cause I'm left here alone
Betrayed by a Judas kiss
Judas kiss, Judas kiss
You left me hangin at the altar
Well it might as well have been
For as sure as I'm standin here
There is sin and you have sinned
It don't matter if we like it
There is right and there is wrong
And when you look that hard for trouble
It surely won't take long
Do you remember our favorite picture
Collecting dust under the bed
My bed of fire and nails
A jagged stone for my weary head
When I close my eyes
I can still taste your lips
Now I'm left here alone
Betrayed by a Judas kiss
Judas kiss, Judas kiss
First it was cocaine
Then you discovered crack
You liked to say you got so high
You were never comin' back
Judas kiss you called it
Such a clever fuckin name
Ah but your so glad
I'll never get well, I'm so sad
Such a God damned shame
And the roses in the closet
Well I took them from the grave
Every day I stand and look at them
Then I bow my head and pray
I hope wherever you are
Is a better place than this
'Cause I'm left here alone
Betrayed by a Judas kiss
Judas kiss, Judas kiss
Judas kiss, Judas kiss
Judas kiss, Judas kiss
