I Fell from Grace


I was the one who begged for a promise,
I made a promise that I couldn't keep.
I was the one who swore to be honest.
I made my bed now I lie in my sleep.
Just one little step backward, just one little step back,
And I fell from grace into your arms.

I'm grateful to whoever sent me this angel.
They ought to be sainted or burned at the stake.
My heart from my home, how did this get arranged?
One little step, that's all that it takes.
Just one little step backward, just one little step back,
And I fell from grace into your arms.

Suddenly I'm drugged by this new ecstasy,
Suddenly I'm living a cliche,
Suddenly tomorrow is my enemy,
Suddenly your skin is my today.

If there's a record of guilt and evasion
Just put my name at the top of the list.
Add me to those who succumb to temptation.
Add me to those who betray with a kiss.
Just one little step backward, just one little step back,
And I fell from grace into your arms.
