Humble Me by Norah Jones

Went out on a limb
Broke down at the side of the road
Gone too far
Stranded at the outskirts and the sun’s creepin’ up

Baby’s in the backseat

Dreamin’ of better days
When it’s all gone away?
Baby I didn’t mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
It never rains when you want it to
No matter how hard you resist it

You humble me Lord
I’m on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
So please, please, please forgive me
You humble me Lord
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say

I don’t want to call you but you’re all I have to turn to
Still fast asleep
You humble me Lord
Heard you kicked the bottle
And you helped build the church
You carry an honest wage
Is it true you have someone keeping you company?
What do you say
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
Baby Teresa she’s got your eyes
No matter how hard you resist it

You humble me Lord
What do you say
You humble me Lord
You humble me Lord
So, please, please, forgive me
You humble me
You humble me Lord
It never rains when you want it to
I’m on my knees empty
Baby I didn’t mean to hurt you
When it’s all gone away?
