St. Matthew

[VERSE 1]
Among the masses you're so highly praised
St. Matthew, Matthew come show us your ways
Among the people you're so greatly loved
But Matthew, tell me, what happened to us?

Matthew you were a mess when I found you
Collecting taxes from those trapped in your whims
But you threw it all away
And began your life in hymns

[Chorus]
Matthew, my Matthew
I knew you before your name
Matthew, you once were my
Saving grace
And Matthew you were a saint when you left me
My dear, what happened?
St. Matthew why have you forgotten?

[VERSE 2]
The man I first met collected his dues
Using promises he never intended to come true
I saw an empty man
But I still loved you
Then the sinner was no more
Out from the ashes came a man, on a white horse

[Chorus]
Matthew, my Matthew
I knew you before your name
Matthew, you once were my
Saving grace
And Matthew you were a saint when you left me
My dear, what happened?
St. Matthew why have you forgotten?

[BRIDGE]
We used to touch so many lived
The work we did was righteous by the heavens eyes
Have you forgotten?
Why did you walk away?

[Chorus]
Matthew, my Matthew
I knew you before your name
Matthew, you once were my
Saving grace
And Matthew you were a saint when you left me
My dear, what happened?
St. Matthew why have you forgotten?

I guess you can't always live up to your name
I guess you can't always, be a saint
