I was away for a while
|
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me
|
Though I don't deserve it
|
I'll cherish it well if you give me one of your new starts
|
|
Just one more last chance
|
I swear that I'll earn it
|
If you front me for now
|
I'm good for it I swear
|
I'm better now I swear
|
|
In earlier days, they'd persecute people
|
They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs
|
For lesser offenses, than how I have harmed you
|
And still you allow me to walk free of pain
|
|
Though I punish myself
|
I will never settle
|
The debts I've incurred for scorning the face
|
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace
|
And though I once mocked you
|
I'm dying to pay for it now
|
I'm dying to pay for it now
|
|
So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down
|
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound
|
To the end of an anchor thrown into the sound
|
And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get
|
|
I wasn't well for a while
|
I savored the things that I knew were sure to destroy me
|
And that seemed to hold me
|
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go
|
On the strength of my own
|
Well, I should've known
|
That gets me nowhere
|
I've learned that now I swear
|
|
In earlier days, they'd persecute people
|
They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs
|
For lesser offenses, than how I have harmed you
|
And still you allow me to walk free of pain
|
|
Though I punish myself
|
I will never settle
|
The debts I've incurred for scorning the face
|
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace
|
And though I once mocked you
|
I'm dying to pay for it now
|
I'm dying to pay for it now, now, now
|
|
So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down
|
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound
|
To then end of an anchor thrown into the sound
|
And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get
|
|
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
|
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
|
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
|
But, I can
