Mark Lecuona Nov 2015
Some people think if they survived
Then they’re alright
They take their blessings with them
And play a game of pretend

My hands are still *****
I know things aren’t right
Unfinished business is still a choice
I need to decide on a loud or silent voice

I won’t drag the past into a new life
It will remain only in my sight
With a soiled memory is how you left
And being wrong is what I must accept
Mark Lecuona Oct 2015
There was a time I didn’t know who to pray to
I knew what I was doing was wrong
I hoped you understood why
I wasn’t sure if heaven was where I belonged

There was a time I thought I knew how to pray
I hoped what I was doing was right
I knew you understood why
Still I wondered if I walked in the light

I’m gonna’ have to die with it
and bring my shame to you
I’m gonna’ have to live with it
tell me who I’m praying to

I have to go it alone on this one
Only the shadows will walk with me now
Being forgiven is the chance I have to take
I hope it happens even though I don’t know how

I’m gonna’ have to die with it
and bring my shame to you
I’m gonna’ have to live with it
tell me who I’m praying to

I can’t ask for things I can’t give
Don't tell me how to die
Tell me how to live
Don't tell me how to lie
Tell me why you forgive

I’m gonna’ have to die with it
and bring my shame to you
I’m gonna’ have to live with it
tell me who I’m praying to
