I broke my wedding vows
When I betrayed your trust
Momentary weakness
Is a poor excuse for lust
It led me to adultery
Which I do regret
And I can’t really blame you
For being so upser

I beg you to forgive me
You’re the one I love
I didn’t mean to hurt you
Although I’m guilty of
An act of infidelity
Which is a mortal sin
God knows that I’m sorry
Even though I wasn’t then

I don’t want to lose you
Because of my mistake
And I’m committed to
Do all that it takes
For us to save our marriage
I don’t want to be divorced
That’s why I pray to God
That we can stay the course

For a moment’s pleasure
I could be losing you
And that’s the very last thing
I’d ever want to do
I’m begging please forgive me
Find it in your heart
I just couldn’t stand it
If we break apart

I didn’t want to hurt you
Yet that’s what I did
Lust and raw desire
Is why I got down with
Someone who meant nothing
In the way you do
I was in lust with her
But I’m in love with you
