When I close my eyes and I see the story board
Drawing out the shame of my life

What am I afraid of
Guilt I can’t let go of

Forgive myself when I don’t want to
Forgive myself when I’m blamin you
Forgive myself when I think I can’t I can
Forgive myself when I tell a lie
Forgive myself when I wanna die
Forgive myself and become all that I am

Familiar with the comfort of my pain
Feel a little better then I’m wallowing again
Is it any wonder I can’t let go of it

Forgive myself when I don’t want to
Forgive myself when I’m blamin you
Forgive myself when I think I can’t I can
Forgive myself when I tell a lie
Forgive myself when I wanna die
Forgive myself and become all that I am

Hell is a place
for souls who have not found compassion
For themselves
Hell is the pain
Forgetting that our life is an amazing grace

Forgive myself when I don’t want to v Forgive myself when I’m blamin you
Forgive myself when I think I can’t I can
Forgive myself when I tell a lie
Forgive myself when I wanna die
Forgive myself and become all that I am
