i will ask for forgiveness
for my sins
as this one life ends
there is so much, i need to mend
with all of my family and  friends
with past girlfriends
with my last breath
there is no reason to pretend
so i will make amends

i am sorry that you wept
i am sorry i was a man without depth
i am sorry for not being grateful
i am sorry for the promises that were unkept
i am sorry i was so hard to accept
i am sorry for the time that was not spent

with my last breath
in my descent
the bad things they were not meant
done i promise without intent
i do and will repent
asking for forgiveness i need no consent

i made so many mistakes
i never put on the brakes
with my last breath
i realize family and friends you can never replace
with life there is not a retake
what you do, what you have done, you cannot erase  

with my last breath
I will ask
forgive me
please
!!
