Even So Lyrics

I have taken like a thief
Just to buy my relief,
But even so, even so,
Grace divine.

I have murdered your sweet trust,
But now I'm burning in my lust,
But even so, even so,
You are mine.

I have drank from her cup,
I have filled my body up,
But even so, even so,
I feel fine.

I have mocked your sweet grace,
I have slapped you in your face,
But even so, even so,
You are mine.

I have fallen, weak and lame,
I have cursed your holy name,
But even so, even so,
I know my lines.

But you whisper deep inside,
And I scream back from where I hide,
That even so, even so,
You are mine.

Even so, even so,
You are mine.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is my epitaph. Hopefully. In a nutshell, it's about the futility of fighting with God. Also, it chronicles my (somewhat) ongoing battle with painkillers. I sometimes contemplate changing the line "I have slapped You, in your face" to "I have put You, in your place." but I think I like the cringe-worthiness of the original line. I am the only Christian in this band. The rest of them are all going to roast in hell. Especially Troy.
