Verse 1:
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 1:
Please forgive me. (4X)

Bridge 1:
I"ve tried to numb my mind and erase, but memories always stay. Can I ever be forgiven'

Bridge 2:
I can't stay here in this place of shame and fear. I've got to think even I could be forgiven.

Chorus 2:
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'
