Sky - St. Matthew Lyrics

Among the masses
You're so highly praised
Saint 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 in trapped your whims
But you threw it all away and began your life in hymns

Matthew my Matthew
I knew you before the name
Matthew you were once my saving grace
Matthew you were a saint when you left me
My dear what happened?
St. matthew why have you forgotten?

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

Matthew my Matthew
I knew you before the name
Matthew you were once my saving grace
Matthew you were a saint when you left me
My dear what happened?
St. matthew why have you forgotten?

We used to touch so many lives
The work we did was righteous by heavens eyes
Have you forgotten? Why did you walk away?

Matthew my Matthew
I knew you before the name
Matthew you were once my saving grace
Matthew you were a saint when you left me
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
