Verse:
How long will I wait? How long must I pay? I can't get past the things I've done and
guilt I have. I've made mistakes that I can't take back. How long will these ghosts live?
I can't, I can't, why can't I be forgiven?

Chorus:
Please forgive me. (4X)

Bridge:
I've tried to numb my mind and erase, but memories always stay. Can I ever be forgiven?

Bridge:
I can't stay here in this place of shame and fear. I've got to think even I could be
forgiven.

Chorus:
I want to be forgiven, will you please forgive me?
I want to be forgiven, will you please forgive me?

Outro:
I need to be forgiven. Will you please forgive me?
