Lord, Forgive Me

[Intro]
Ooh-oh
Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh

[Verse 1]
Been waking up in the middle of the night
A cold sweat and a haunting cry
In these dreams of mine
Cashing out at the bank
Scraping up enough change
To pick up and run away

[Pre-Chorus]
The tape was rolling (Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
How could I forget
Silence is golden (Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
Least that's what my lawyer said

[Chorus]
Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
Of course, I never meant to hurt that man
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (Forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (Oh)
It's only right I stand a trial
Now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made
No, life will never
Life will never be the same

[Verse 2]
A button up and a long black tie (Black tie)
A hurricane of tears fall from his mother's eyes
Swear if I could take it back, I would
Cause I never, I never

[Pre-Chorus]
The tape was rolling (Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
How could I forget
Silence is golden (Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
Least that's what my lawyer said

[Chorus]
Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
Of course, I never meant to hurt that man
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (Forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (Oh)
It's only right I stand a trial
Now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made
No, life won't ever
Life will never be the same

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
What goes around comes around again
I'll never rest my eyelids
I'll suffer in this silence, no no (no)
In the mirror rehearsing my defense
I can barely stand the sight
I'm facing 25 to life
Cuffs gripping on my wrists tight
Tell my mama it'll be alright

[Chorus]
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (Forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (Oh)
It's only right I stand a trial
Now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made
No, life won't ever
Life will never be the same
