I Called You

[Verse 1]
A sinner friend was on my mind
So only sinner men’ll die [?]
I called you
Help me, Lord, to say no
The heavy burden brought me low
And I called you
I need your help to guide me through
I need your help to guide me through

[Chorus]
And I know how things can go
There’s three directions the river flows
One burns our bridges
The second builds a wall
Still another for forgiveness
And you can drink them all
I want somebody but I don’t want the pain
Found love and affection
They weren’t the same thing
I used to know better
Now I just know the truth
And I never called a friend in need before
I called you
Yeah I never called a friend in need before
Never called a friend
I called you

[Verse 2]
You can only hurt the ones you know
It’s safer now to be alone
But I’m not free
Hosanna in the highest
The men I knew survived this test
So choose not me [?]
Use your hand to hide this man
Use your hand to hide this man
From they [?]

[Chorus]
And I know how things can go
There’s three directions the river flows
One burns our bridges
The second builds a wall
Still another for forgiveness
And you can drink them all
I want somebody but I don’t want the pain
Found love and affection
They weren’t the same thing
I used to know better
Now I just know the truth
And I never called a friend in need before
I called you
No I never called a friend in need before (never called a friend)
I called you

[Outro]
Never called a friend in need before
Never called a friend
I called you
If you can only call when you want some more
Is there anything left calling for?
If I call you
We don’t even try to talk no more
Everything to say’s been said before
I called you
