Forgive my transgressions
Strip me of my sins
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I wish I couldve been
A murderer I am
Of all my hopes and dreams
Barricaded myself in
And listened to my screams
I forgave those who robbed me
Of secrets I couldn't keep
Because they were too heavy
I couldn't set them free
Now I'm bound to my own shame
And hanging by a thread
Please just forgive me
Of the weight I need to shed
I'd take a thousand lashings
If I could finally see
That the person I need forgiveness from
Is me

Forgive my transgressions
Strip me of my sins
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
I wish I couldve been
A murderer I am
Of all my hopes and dreams
Barricaded myself in
And listened to my screams
I forgave those who robbed me
Of secrets I couldn't keep
Because they were too heavy
I couldn't set them free
Now I'm bound to my own shame
And hanging by a thread
Please just forgive me
Of the weight I need to shed
I'd take a thousand lashings
If I could finally see
That the person I need forgiveness from
Is me
