Skillz - Preaching to the Choir lyrics

Uh, now here's a little story
That must be told
By the unsaved man who lost
And found his soul
It's a classic love ballad
Those never get old
Let's piece together the tale
Of Sean and Nicole
A picture perfect couple in the
Eyes of they peers been together for eight
But only married for four years
Had one kid, both was true to their own
Just moved to the 'burbs and
Bought a beautiful home
Now Sean had a gift and for years he use it
He was an R & B singer, sang secular music
Nicole worked in the daycare
She loved the kids had a nice income
But it never could match his
Now Sean stayed on the road
His schedule was crazy
Nicole spent a lot of nights
At home with the baby
And this night in question, while out on tour
Sean made a mistake
She'd never forgive him for but, it's more

We all hit the bottom but
He can get us higher
The end of the day, we all sinners and liars
The truth is somebody's gonna
Burn in the fire what's sad is
You probably think I'm preaching to the choir

Nicole was heartbroken, crazy sick
She had proof that he had
Stepped out of relationship
Sean was a hero, but after that circumstance
He was just a man who couldn't
Keep the shit in his pants
All her girlfriends said she
Was crazy to stay "If it was me girl
I'd of left his ass that day"
Nicole stayed and forgave, made up her mind
Now it's five years later
And everything's going fine
They did some soulsearchin
Cause their love was worth it
But, it's work though
Cause no relationship is perfect
Nicole struggled, she was down and up
Some days she loved him
Other days she hated his guts
Sean didn't know, she never told him the deal
He just kept singin
Cause that's what was payin the bills
Livin in denial, that's a bad place to live
Nicole told him she forgave him
But she never really did

Some time had past
While Nicole still struggled
Stressed over work
Competin with the average couple
She was faithful
Even after Sean crossed the line
When he was gone
She found ways to occupy her time
You'll never find what's missin
If you don't search
She started goin to the gym
Then she joined the church
The experience she said, it took her higher
After six months of Sundays
She joined the choir
And when Sean came home
She threw him a curve
Said to come to church with her
So he could hear the word
They went to sleep that night
But when they prayed
For the first time he felt bad
About the music he made
That following Saturday, Sean had a show
And it was 9 AM when he
Stumbled up to the door
And the house was empty though
He couldn't find his key
Drunk, gun was on him and
He smelled like weed
February 14th and he forget to bring
Flowers and he told Nicole he'd
Come here and sing
So he walked in the church a half hour late
Uncomfortable, stood in the back
Cause he couldn't find space
He just stood on the wall
Rockin back and forth
The preacher preached about tryin to
Get right with the Lord
So he thought about his life
And thought about his wife
And how short the walk was
To get right with Christ
He looked up at Nicole as she started to cry
Seein her like that just brought
Tears to his eyes
The whole church started starin
At Sean so hard thinkin this man is about to
Give his life to God
It's a guy in the choir, about to sing a song
Walked past Nicole
But their body language was wrong
Sean was feelin some way
Something wasn't right
He started starin at the guy and
How he's lookin at his wife
His heart started beatin
He's ready to flip his wig
Thinkin my wife ain't the type to
Do the things I did
The truth would have you floored
The man was married
Sleepin with Nicole and there they stood
Both singin to the Lord damn (damn, damn)
